Challenge

In Colombia, many elderly patients face cancer, heart disease, and other serious illnesses without access to essential care. At San Vicente Fundacion, 85% live in poverty and cannot afford treatment. Each year we invest over $2.5M USD so seniors in need receive lifesaving care. With your support, we can bring dignity, hope, and health to our elders.

Solution

This project delivers lifesaving medical care to Colombia's most vulnerable elderly patients. We provide treatments for cancer, cardiac disease, trauma recovery, and chronic conditions-completely free for those in need. Your donation covers essentials: $25 Provides meals for patient companions; $100 supplies emergency kits for 10 patients; $500 updates ICU tools to save lives. Beyond medical care, we also support families with hygiene kits, food, and transportation.

Long-Term Impact

Each year, we care for over 10,000 elderly Colombians including Indigenous elders, displaced families, and low-income seniors. By providing high-quality healthcare for everyone, we restore hope, dignity, and a chance to live longer, healthier lives. Your $25/month means our elderly patients receive care every month. Join our Lifesavers Circle and be the reason they survive.
