Removing barriers means preserving home.

After years of planning, the Grace Home elevator project is nearly complete — a critical step toward ensuring more residents can remain in the small, familiar homes they know and trust.

But delays, rising costs, and new building requirements pushed the project hundreds of thousands of dollars beyond our original projections.

Now, we need your help to cross the finish line.

Every gift — at any level — helps remove barriers and preserve real homes, real relationships, and real choice.

Donate today: https://www.rakhma.org/donate

Leave a lasting legacy at Rakhma.

Donors who give $1,000 or more in December and January may include their name, a memorial, or a business name on a permanent plaque near the new Grace Home elevator.

Your support helps ensure accessibility never decides who belongs.

When stairs become a barrier, home can be at risk.

At Rakhma’s Grace Home, a beloved resident once faced the possibility of losing his familiar home simply because he could no longer safely use stairs. After a medical event and a hospital stay, returning home wasn’t guaranteed — not because he didn’t belong, but because accessibility stood in the way.

Our team refused to accept that outcome. Through persistence, relationship-based care, and deep familiarity, he was able to return home to the routines, caregivers, and sense of belonging he relied on.

His story is one example of why accessibility matters so deeply in memory care — and why removing barriers can mean the difference between staying home and being forced to leave it.

In the coming days, we’ll be sharing more about the progress we’ve made — including an elevator project designed to ensure more residents can remain in the homes they know — and how our community can help us cross the finish line.

Thank you.
Whether you donated, shared a post, sent encouragement, or simply followed along with our stories this Give to the Max Day, we are deeply grateful.

Because of your generosity, Rakhma raised $8,223 toward our mission.
Every single gift helps protect a model of care that is quickly disappearing in Minnesota — small, home-like environments where residents are seen for who they are, not defined by a diagnosis or a medical file.

Yesterday, you helped us bridge the gap between what the system will support and what humanity requires. You helped ensure that people like Barb, Adam’s residents, the painter with the railing, the woodworker in the basement, and Ron* have access to dignity, purpose, stability, and true home.

You showed us — once again — that Rakhma is sustained by the people who believe in this mission just as deeply as we do.

Thank you for standing with us.
Thank you for helping us care with heart.
And thank you for keeping this rare model alive for the families who need it most.

Rakhma Homes

A Champion of Rakhma’s Mission
Today we want to recognize someone who embodies Rakhma’s mission in every possible way.

Our $10,000 matching donor, Rick Onsrud, whose wife Sandra lived at the Peace Home, continues to support Rakhma as both a volunteer and a donor. Last year, Rick made a historic $100,000 gift ahead of our 40th anniversary event.

Rick’s generosity reflects something we see often at Rakhma:
our strongest champions are the people who have lived this mission alongside us.

Families who have experienced the compassion of our homes firsthand are the ones who continue to carry the mission forward — just as Rick does, year after year.

We are deeply grateful for him, for Sandra’s memory, and for every family member who becomes part of the Rakhma community long after their loved one has passed.
