Supportive Pillars

Health & Wellness

Susanna found that many medical expenses were not covered by traditional insurance and the extensive financial burden was unexpected. Expenses supported are insurance deductibles, out of pocket medical expenses, alternative medicine, therapy, preventative education, counseling, prosthetics, palliative and hospice care.

Child Prosperity

Susanna exhibited compassion in caring and providing for children in need in our community. We support childhood prosperity by offering support to maintain a balance for normalcy by providing day-to-day supplies, clothing, educational tools, and fees for extra-curricular activities. Children also may need therapy/counseling, grief support, emotional support, and diversion. To counterbalance stress and worry, we provide care packages and organize supportive notes or activities to support and care for children.

Essential Needs

In the case of critical illness or tragedy, income may be reduced or stretched with additional expenses and a decrease in their ability to work. The organization offers resources for housing support, food and nutrition, utilities, cleaning services, or assistance to find additional resources for social services or assistance with housing/utilities, transportation, caregiver support, legal / financial services and funeral service expenses.

Education

Susanna attended Catholic schools as a child. She and her husband believed in the quality of private education and the sense of community that came with it. We are committed to supporting educational needs including, tuition, tutoring, organized traditional/non-traditional courses, preschool, day care, professional services, technology and supplies that a child may need for educational purposes. Scholarships may be offered at a later date to help with educational needs.

When a family is in crisis, immediate relief is crucial.
