Why Saint Therese on Give to the Max Day?
At Saint Therese, we believe that every senior should have access to quality care and services, in the community where they thrive, regardless of their financial circumstances. Access to affordable care is a growing problem. This is because seniors are an ever-growing part of the population and living longer than ever[1]. Combining with this reality is that many seniors will need assistance to complete the activities of daily living but up to 60% of seniors only have the funds to stay in an assisted living community for 4 years [2].
The anxiety of a resident outliving their funds can cause undue stress on them and their families, not to mention the grief of losing their home, friends they made, and the care they need if they have to move.
We are committed to providing solutions to access and affordable care for our residents. For that reason, all funds raised this Give to The Max Day will support the Saint Therese Foundation Caring Fund. The Caring Fund was created to support residents in our communities who have outlived their financial resources through no fault of their own. Help us grow this Fund so that residents can stay in their homes, receive the care they need, and continue to participate in community activities with their friends and families.
Regrettably, this past year, we have had to turn down a Caring Fund request due to a lack of funds to support the residents’ long-term financial needs. This was heartbreaking and not what we want for our residents.
We are thankful for donors who have established endowments that support the Caring Fund, which have created a sustaining stream of funding. This gives us a great starting point, but it is the continued support from our community that is crucial.
Please don’t wait to donate. Your gift will ensure that we reach our goal of raising $15,000, for our Caring Fund.
Because of the Caring Fund:
All Funds raised will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000 from Marsh McLennan Agency!
