Make a Difference This Giving Tuesday with the Sisters of the Poor

December 3, 2024

Dear Friends,

As we enter this season of gratitude, we reflect on the many blessings in our lives and the incredible generosity of supporters like you. Your unwavering kindness to the Sisters of the Poor is not only a gift to us but also to the countless people served through Sister Ursula’s ministry.

Thanks to you, our recent Chili and Soup Dinner was a wonderful success! Whether you purchased tickets, attended, or made a donation, we deeply appreciate your contributions. We’re already looking forward to hosting another dinner next fall!

This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in continuing this vital work. Your generous donation will directly support the purchase of much-needed medical items, including wheelchairs, walkers, and canes. Sister Ursula specifically requested these items to help those in need regain mobility and independence. Through a unique approach, the Sisters provide gently used equipment to those who need it and encourage its return once it’s no longer needed, ensuring resources continue to bless others.

How You Can Help:

Mail a check: Make it payable to Sisters of the Poor Foundation and send it to:
1631B West Main St., Jefferson City, MO 65109
Donate online: Visit sistersofthepoor.org to make a secure donation.

Every gift, no matter the size, brings hope and healing to those who need it most. Together, we can transform lives and continue to fulfill God’s call to care for the poor.

May God bless you and your loved ones abundantly this Thanksgiving and throughout the coming year.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Sisters of the Poor Foundation
Kevin Perry, Lisa & Andy Fender, Mary Jo Henke, Mary Wiseman, and Taube Wurst

Sister Ursula of Abakaliki, Nigeria has dedicated herself to personally finding, feeding, and bringing medical care to the poor, sick, and dying of Abakaliki. She visits Jefferson City occasionally to recuperate and maintain ties with family and friends, and through these visits the Sisters of the Poor Foundation was organized by a group of friends. We were invited to meet Sister Ursula on one of those visits and were immediately motivated to contribute to her work. This has provided us an opportunity to participate in charitable work where there is a direct connection and we are allowed to see it grow, and we are eternally grateful for this privilege.

One reason I like donating to the Sisters of the Poor is that I know Sr. Ursula personally, and I know that she works with the poorest of the poor in her country. I see the results of what we have given to Sr. Ursula's ministry and so even though I am not physically present with her, I feel united with her work with these people. I am very grateful for her ministry.

I just remember Sr. Ursula sitting in the chapel during my Holy Hour pre-pandemic. She was so cute. A couple times she asked me to give her a ride to the Goodwill store. (And I did, of course. It's hard to say no.) Let's just say that I trust her and trust you and others who advocate for her needs. I trust how the money is being used. It's my way of supporting the poor overseas.
