What We Do

Every day that a low-income senior goes without food, daily essentials, or someone’s company, is one too many for us. This is why we created our program to facilitate help from those good samaritans who are fortunate enough and willing to help by way of donating goods, time, and or funds. At Fund A Need, we facilitate your good deeds making sure they go where they were intended. There are other organizations that offer similar services, however, what set’s us apart at our none-profit is that 100% of the donations go toward the care of the elderly and we are proud of it.

The Cultural Phenomenon of Aging

Different cultures adopt different attitudes and practices around aging which directly influence our experience with getting older. While many cultures celebrate the aging process and venerate their elders, some cultures adopted an opposite approach. With the elderly commonly removed from the community and relegated to hospitals, nursing homes, and worst yet, the streets; the perception of aging has become a shameful experience. The self-deceiving perception (since aging is the natural byproduct of “living”) has gained such a strong foothold that aging people often feel that there is something wrong with them and develop a sense of abandonment and loss of worth –  entirely opposite to those who live in cultures that relish the experience. Physical signs of human aging tend to be regarded with distaste, and aging is often depicted in a negative light among the popular culture if it is even depicted at all.

At Fund A Need we celebrate and honor the process of aging. It is a reminder of what a marvel life is and all that it has to offer. Our objective is to help particularly the low-income seniors who had fallen in the wake of the skewed perception that views aging as a problem and the elderly as shameful. We are determined to rid of negative stigma by educating the younger generations by way of having them peek into their own future right before their eyes. Come and join us and you will see for yourself. At F.A.N we empower the low-income seniors by helping rebuild their dignity and give them the independence they deserve. This is accomplished by fundraising campaigns and events to help pay for their basic needs which otherwise will go unanswered. Surprisingly, it doesn’t take much to make them happier, more comfortable, and bring meaning to their lives.  Become a FAN today!

Become a F.A.N and join the movement

We are part of a small, yet the fast-growing, group of citizens — a diverse lot of gerontologists, physicians, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers, ethicists, cultural observers, and spiritual leaders — who are the vanguard of a movement to change the way society looks at and deals with aging. We seek to change the perception of aging from being an incurable disease, to what it actually is — living!
