Little Sisters of the Poor

France 1839: St. Jeanne Jugan takes an elderly infirm woman who could not walk nor see into her home. It was on that day that the campaign of caring known as The Little Sisters Of The Poor came into being.
One would be challenged to find a more staunch believer in peace than St. Jugan. When she was assaulted by a young man after soliciting a donation, she said to him «You gave that to me, now give me something for the elderly.» Legend has it that the young man was so taken by St. Jugan’s response and so overcome with generosity that he gave her all the money in his pockets.
TLSOTP came to Pittsburgh in 1872 and has Homes in Brighton Heights and Lawrenceville. Their mission has not wavered; to care for the impoverished and aged among us with the utmost compassion and to the best standards their resources will allow.
With Social Security and Medicare in danger, TLSOTP are essential defenders of some of our society’s most vulnerable and forgotten citizens. They are doing what Christ, the original rock-​and-​roll left-​wing socialist warrior, would be doing if he walked the Earth today.
TLSOTP provides assisted independent living services, medical services, and personal care to destitute people over 60. Their good works are done without regard to religious, racial, and ethnic differences.
They could always use some funding and are more than deserving of it. No matter what your beliefs are, send them a little of your expendable income today if you ever had a grandmother or grandfather or just believe in tipping the scales on behalf of Benevolence.
