WHY Give

WHY give
Your generous contributions play a vital role in advancing the mission of Light of Hearts Villa, where we are dedicated to offering exceptional residential living and community outreach services for seniors. Rooted in our faith-based values, our mission is to honor the dignity of each individual and provide encouragement throughout their aging journey.
Within our community, up to 90 seniors find solace and support at Light of Hearts Villa. Additionally, our Seton Safety Net outreach program extends aid to over 400 seniors annually in the Bedford, Ohio area, many of whom are living near or below the poverty line, facing isolation, and confined to their homes. Without crucial services such as benefit assessments, care coordination, and transportation, they would lack essential assistance.
Furthermore, your generosity contributes to the Sr. Helen Scasny, SC Benevolent Fund, which upholds the mission of Light of Hearts Villa by offering financial support to residents who have depleted their resources. This fund relies on individual contributions, foundation grants, bequests, and various fundraising endeavors to fulfill its mission.

When might someone need help from the Sister Helen T. Scasny, SC Benevolent Fund?
As we age, we may look to move into a senior living community where we can continue to age in place with dignity; all while having access to different levels of care that we may require through the aging process. If residents, by no fault of their own, deplete their resources and no longer have sufficient resources to sustain their residence, our Sister Helen T. Scasny, SC Benevolent Fund has sought to serve residents with funds to help subsidize the cost of the resident’s rent and personal care charges. In these instances, residents are able to apply for assistance. Their finances are reviewed, and qualified residents are eligible to receive the appropriate support needed.
Who funds the Sister Helen T. Scasny, SC Benevolent Fund?

Donations are graciously accepted in any amount and can be made at any time of the year. If a donor chooses, a donation can be made in honor of a special occasion or as a memorial tribute for a life well-lived.
