Building Homes of Dignity with the Little Sisters of the Poor

$555 of $150,000 goal
Given by 12 generous donors in over a year

A 12 unit project providing safe, affordable, independent homes for elderly people of modest means in Brockville.

Brockville, Dunedin

For more than 120 years, the Little Sisters of the Poor have quietly served elderly people in need, offering care, shelter, and dignity to tens of thousands in our community. Guided by Saint Jeanne Jugan, they have devoted their lives to supporting older people of modest means, touching countless families along the way.

Now they need our help.

Holy Family Villa is a new 12-unit housing development beside Sacred Heart Home and Hospital in Brockville. These warm, secure homes will provide affordable, independent living for elderly people from all denominations at a time when safe housing is more critical than ever.

Each thoughtfully designed unit includes a private bedroom, ensuite, kitchenette, lounge, and veranda overlooking a shared courtyard. Residents will enjoy both privacy and connection, with access to Sacred Heart Home’s facilities, including its peaceful chapel, and the reassurance of a caring community close by.

Holy Family Villa is more than housing. It offers dignity, independence, and security to people who have spent their lives contributing to our community.

Every dollar donated goes directly towards building these homes. 100 percent of funds raised will support this vital project, including providing furniture for those in need, ensuring vulnerable seniors have a safe and dignified place to live for generations to come.

The Little Sisters have given so much.

Now it is our turn to help them continue their life’s work.

Please donate today.

Use of funds

The funds will construct and furnish 12 independent living units for low-income seniors, including kitchens, bathrooms, and communal areas. If we don't meet our target, the money will go towards essential materials and initial construction phases.
