Help 51 Elderly, Homeless Women Have a Home

Hello Friends of the Hogar Santa Ana:

We are very happy that the New Normal (without Covid but still extra care) has been ok. 

We have had several problems in the building (understandable when you have a building that is over 150 years old), but it creates many difficulties when our budget is so tight. We are grateful we managed to repair some pipes in 3 out of 5 bathrooms that we had to close permanently, thus affecting the quality of life of our 52 ladies. It was a temporary fix, but for the time being we are ok.

Argentina won the Soccer World Championship, and although our ladies did not join the 5 million argentines that went out on the streets, we celebrated with a Pizza Party!!

And the end of the year came with our usual Christmas and New Years celebrations. 

More to follow in the next report! Thank you for your ongoing support.

Hello Friends of the Hogar Santa Ana:

We are back to the new normal!

These last four months were very active. Our ladies choir went to sing to our local church festivities, and they were invited to the Theatre by Fundacion Arte Vivo.

We got back to celebrating the birthdays of the month at the home, and this makes our ladies feel very special (most of them do not have family, so having someone celebrate their birthday is very important.

We had to undergo many repairs (some electrical and some natural gas) as well as changing the lighting on the Homes access. 

We desperately needed a food processor so we did a Locro Solidario (Charity Locro Sale, which is a typical argentine food sale) and were able to pay most of it.

I would say our biggest joy was to have Edith receive a Cornea Transplant which allowed her to recuperate vision in one eye. This was done thanks to Zambrano Foundation!

More news will follow in the next report. Thank you for your ongoing support!
