2 Why Your Contribution Makes a Difference Trust in Divine Providence The Little Sisters of the Poor trust completely in God s Providence, having been directed by their foundress St. Jeanne Jugan to avoid building an endowment. Their tradition is to live from donation to donation and to beg daily in the markets and places of business to provide for the needs of the aged poor. Vow of Hospitality By a vow of hospitality each Little Sister promises God to consecrate herself exclusively to the service of the elderly in need. An international congregation of Roman Catholic women, the Little Sisters have served in Los Angeles since 1905 offering the neediest elderly of every race and religion a home where they are welcomed as Christ, cared for as family and accompanied with dignity until God calls them to Himself. Benefactors are Indispensable Social Security income, pensions, and government aid pay only part of the cost of caring for the elderly residents. Each year the Sisters must raise over 60% of their operating costs from gifts, bequests and donated commodities. Like St. Jeanne Jugan, the Little Sisters recognize that benefactors are indispensable partners in their mission. And like her, they pray daily in gratitude for every kindness!
