DONATE

San Jose is a home for elderly people who have found themselves lonely and lacking the necessary care for everyday life. Unfortunately, we are facing an emergency: urgent repairs and installations must be completed, and we do not have the necessary funds. Most of the residents, who are over 90% women, have no other family. This place is and has been their home for over 10, 15, or even 20 years, and we cannot look away.

Challenge

On top of the 33 residents, the Home has a professional team of doctors, psychologists, social workers, and nutritionists who work 24 hours a day to provide care for participants. Without San Jose, not only will the residents lose their home, but all these people will also be left unemployed. In Argentina, 4 in 10 people are classed as 'poor', mainly children, women, or the elderly. Deprived of rights such as retirement, pensions, or health insurance, seniors are left completely vulnerable.

Long-Term Impact

San Jose Home is a place that has honored the tradition of respecting and caring for older adults for more than 80 years. Not only are we saving people's home, but also people's history. Mensajeros de la Paz is committed to guarding their dignity and protecting them from any risk that directly affects them. To effectively do so, repairing San Jose Home is our top priority.
