OUR MOTTO HERE AT S.S.F. IS...
..."CHANGING
THE LIVES OF SENIORS THROUGH ACTS OF KINDNESS."
HAVING SENIOR PARENTS WHO ARE LOW INCOME AND SEEING FIRST
HAND THE STRUGGLES THAT THEY AND THIER PEERS ARE HAVING TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET, WE SOON REALIZED THE SAD FACT THAT THE FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE FOR SENIORS WAS VERY HARD TO COME BY. SO WE DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION.
OUR MISSION IS TO HELP ALLEVIATE
SOME OF THE PRESSURE AND FEARS THAT MANY SENIORS HAVE OF NOT HAVING ENOUGH TO SURVIVE OR HAVING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
MEDICATION AND RENT. OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE ENOUGH FUNDS TO ALLOW US TO CONTINUE TO HELP SENIORS IN THIER TIME OF
NEED.
AS YOU KNOW, SENIORS BUILT THIS GREAT COUNTRY WITH HARD WORK MORALS AND VALUES. THEY ARE A PRIZED AND
CHERISHED RESOURCE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
FINANCIALLY IT IS VERY HARD FOR SENIORS TO MAKE IT ON A FIXED INCOME, EVEN A
GROCERY BILL THAT IS A FEW DOLLARS HIGHER CAN SEND THEIR BUDGET ON A DOWNWARD SPIRIAL; ALL THEY NEED IS A CHANCE TO CATCH
UP, INSTEAD THEY GO WITHOUT THE BASIC NECESSITIES IN LIFE , FOOD, WARMTH, ELECTRICITY AND LIFE SAVING MEDICINE. THIS DOES
NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN.
THIS IS WHERE WE COME IN. SMILES FOR SENIORS WILL PUT A SMILE ON THE FACES OF THOSE WHO NEED
IT MOST. WE OWE IT TO OUR SENIORS. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO ADOPT A SENIOR IN YOUR AREA, CHECK ON THEM, SEE HOW THEY ARE
. SOMETIMES ALL THEY NEED IS JUST A LITTLE COMPANY AND WHEN THEY NEED MORE THEY CAN CONTACT US.
YOUR GENEROUS
DONATIONS ARE GREATLY NEEDED AND APPRECIATED. YOU CAN PUT A SMILE ON THE FACE OF A LOCAL SENIOR.
ON BEHALF OF ALL OF
US HERE AT S.S.F.
