We Give Catholic Giving Day

As we celebrate the close of 2024, marking the 35th anniversary of Light of Hearts Villa, we reflect with deep gratitude on the support that has allowed us to care for our residents with dignity and love. For 35 years, we have kept our founding promise: to provide care, even for those who have outlived their financial resources. The Sister Helen T. Scasny, SC Benevolent Fund makes this possible by supporting residents in need.

This year, we are setting a special goal: to raise $35,000 in honor of our 35th anniversary. And thanks to the generosity of Mary Ann Kaminski, in loving memory of her late husband, Deacon Robert Kaminski, every dollar raised will be matched—bringing our total to $70,000!

You can make your gift in several ways:

  • Mail in a check or cash before December 3 to Light of Hearts Villa.
  • Make a gift of stock or an IRA distribution to maximize your tax benefits while supporting our residents.
  • On Giving Tuesday, December 3, make your gift online at our #weGiveCatholic page: https://www.wegivecatholic.org/organization/lightofheartsvilla.

We’re thrilled to be competing once again in the #weGiveCatholic Giving Day, where we challenge other Catholic organizations across Northeast Ohio. Last year, we placed 2nd out of 54 nonprofits, and this year we’re aiming for the top! The Early Giving phase begins at 12:00 AM on Saturday, November 23, though the leaderboard will go live only on Giving Tuesday—so join the excitement as we race to the top!

By giving before December 3, you will double your impact thanks to the matching gift. Your donation will ensure that no resident is ever turned away due to financial need, and together we can celebrate our 35th anniversary in the most meaningful way.

Make your gift today, and let’s reach our $70,000 goal while climbing the #weGiveCatholic leaderboard!
