With your unwavering support, we are able to continue our mission of providing high-quality care for our beloved residents and serving the most vulnerable members of our community.

It's hard to believe that almost four years have passed since our last Gala, and we are deeply humbled by the overwhelming turnout at this event, especially during such a busy time of the year. We were thrilled to have over 350 guests come together and join us for an evening filled with Kefi, Agapi, and Glendi as we celebrated our anniversary.
In addition to the attendees, we are immensely grateful for the generous donations from many others who couldn't be present. Your support means the world to us, and words cannot express the depth of our gratitude towards each and every one of you.
​
As we enter the new year, we wish you all happiness and blessings. Once again, a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to the success of our Gala.
