Operating Fund
As one can imagine, the day to day cost of operating a large home and providing for the elderly poor who have outlived their resources, can be quite costly. Reimbursement from government programs covers less than half of the actual cost of care. The cost of caring for the elderly poor in a manner respectful of their dignity far exceeds the income received from the Resident's pensions, Social Security or Medicaid. The Little Sisters of the Poor rely completely on Divine Providence, having been instructed by Jeanne Jugan to avoid all forms of guaranteed income. Little Sisters rejoice in the generosity and love that flows in support of their work.
