Impoverished Elderly

The elderly in impoverished countries are so vulnerable to suffering. They don't have the energy or family's help many times to take care of them. In Amatitlan Guatemala there is a Hospice that is supplied with food and health care provisions to take care of these fragile people who have had no one to care for them.

The staff appreciates all that can be done for them..... gentle foods that the patients can eat easily, adult health care items, soap and blankets are some of the items that are brought to them. Caring Moms provide for the needs of these 80+ year old men and women that can no longer care for themselves.

Some past and some still present... but this Hospice provides human care and love for the elderly here in this small town.

With your help supplies can be sent with compassion to help these helpless and vulnerable elderly people.

They eat Moms Against Hunger food supplies and it helps them nutritionally to be sustained.
