Be the answer to our prayers. Without you, they go without food and medicine.
Every day, our elderly residents depend on this home to live with dignity.
Our Mission: Love in Action
Many elderly people arrive here with no one, no home, and no hope of going on.
Leão de Judá doesn't just provide food and a bed. We give every grandpa and grandma back the respect and love of a family.
What makes our work different is our sponsored spots: we cover 100% of the cost for grandparents who can't afford a care home, giving them, at the end of life, the feeling of having family close by again.
We Urgently Need Your Help
We're facing the toughest moment since we started: mandatory health-code renovations, social media pages taken down and cloned, and donations that dropped 70% around the holidays. If help doesn't arrive, we may have to close our doors for lack of resources. That is something we cannot let happen.
No one but our donors helps us. Each elderly resident here costs, on average, $900 a month: food, medicine, doctors, physical therapy, and the full team that helps them eat, get up, and bathe every single day. Without donations, this simply isn't possible.
Every new sponsored spot we open means one more elderly person taken off the streets, and another $900 a month that depends solely on donations. Continuing to grow is only possible with you.
