HELP US

FEED THEM

You can now donate to the Ancianitas through the Foundation for Lake Chapala charities. The money is then transferred directly into the Ancianita's Santander account. You will need to check the box by the Ancianitas de Santa Clara so they'll know that is the charity you wish to support. Here's a link so you can see how easy it is:

Help Us Achieve this

Simple Goal

Who We Are

We are a group of non-paid volunteers who are providing assistance to the Ancianitas, primarily in the form of food, but also companionship.

Monthly Food Despensas

The home spends almost all of their income on salaries for the nurses and care givers. The need for food is compelling. Providing this food is our primary mission. We deliver food once a month.

Companionship

We visit the women once a month to deliver food and at other times bringing other groups to infuse joy into these forgotten women's lives. Their eyes light up when they see us. Every human needs to feel cared for.

Who We Are

fiesta!

Thanks to a generous donation from Ca, Martina's sponsor, we were able to have a fiesta in February. Agustin from Viva Mexico fixed lasagne and hired musicians to play Mexican music the ancianitas would remember. We had ice cream for dessert. There was much dancing and fun!

ABOUT US

At Christmas we hold a party for the Ancianitas. All of the women got present-stuffed bags (thank you, Katharina!), blankets (thank you, Kathy and Barb!) and sheets, and other much-needed linens. We hope to do this every year.

We try to have other events for them throughout the year. Linda Harley has brought her cooking classes and they distributed jackets, dolls, adult diapers and more.

We had a Mother's Day luncheon with the ancianitas and their families (for those who have a family).
