A Heartfelt Thank You !
As we move forward in our Giving Tuesday initiative, our hearts are filled with gratitude. Thanks to the generosity of our caring community, we have already raised $7,520. Kiitos thank you to everyone who has shown their support so far. Your kindness is already making a meaningful difference.
But we are not done yet.
We are still working toward our $40,000 goal, and your support continues to be essential. With winter settling in and the snow beginning to fall, our Giving Tuesday momentum carries on into our Christmas Appeal Campaign.
One of our important priorities is upgrading the front door of Suomi Eesti Maja. During the colder months, this entrance becomes difficult even unsafe for many of our residents. A new, accessible, weather-resilient door would dramatically improve daily life, offering warmth, safety, dignity, and ease of movement.
It may seem like a small change, but for our residents, it affects everyday moments:
• entering and exiting the home safely
• staying protected from harsh winter winds
• maintaining independence and confidence
• feeling welcomed and cared for, every time they return
As a not-for-profit organization, we rely on the generosity of individuals who believe in creating comfort, security, and a true sense of home for our elders. Every gift no matter the size brings us one step closer to making this essential improvement a reality.
We are deeply grateful for the support shown so far, and we’re hopeful as we continue toward our goal. Together, we can ensure our residents experience the warmth and accessibility they deserve.
Thank you for walking with us. Let’s keep this momentum going the door is not open yet, but with your help, it will be.
