Congratulations on doing the right thing and setting up a donor advised fund! It is like having your very own personal little foundation. Don’t forget to take the next step and use your DAF to make the world a better place and keep our Abuelitos out of nursing home. Let’s help improve their quality of life and help them age-in-place!

Can you imagine eating hospital food every day for a year? Sadly, our seniors have been living on weekly boxes of frozen food due to COVID-19. They are grateful but are desperate for fresh produce. You can make a big impact on their vida by simply providing a one time donation of $20, $40, $60, or more! For context, just one box of groceries costs $22 and will last a senior and their families at least two weeks.

For the low cost of only $10 a month ($120 dollars a year), you can guarantee your Abuelitos’ health and wellness is taken care of. Your donation will provide 6 boxes of fresh produce along with much needed toiletries such as soaps, shampoos, deodorants, and face creams. It is by far the easiest and most cost-effective way to ensure your Abuelitos‘ vida is supported with year-round services.

The University of Massachusetts’ Elder Index calculates that a senior needs at least $2,090 a month to successfully age-in-place in the District of Columbia. The majority of Vida clients live on less than half that amount. Aging is hard on all of us, imagine aging poor and alone in a place far away from home. Let the Vida seniors know you care.
