Your ongoing donations are crucial to securing their care. We want to invite you to give monthly or annually. This way, your impact is more significant, and it helps keep these programs running and covers more older adults.

Ten thousand (10,000) new members (donors) are needed to help alleviate the loneliness experienced by poor older adults. Hogar de Cristo’s campaign goal, launched on April 1st, is to enhance and strengthen home care services.

Data from the 2024 Chilean census reveals that nearly 12% of surveyed households consist of individuals aged 65 years or older, and the senior population has more than doubled since 1992. They are primarily women, averaging 71 years old, who often care for another older adult or a family member with a disability.

Hogar de Cristo’s home care program targets individuals aged 60 and above who live alone and lack sufficient family and community support to ensure their well-being. This situation can lead to abandonment or isolation, resulting in physical and mental health issues. However, the most severe consequence is the pervasive feeling of loneliness. Hogar de Cristo USA
