According to the U.S. Census Bureau, one in every three Seniors in St. Louis struggles to exist in poverty, and are often forced to sacrifice their health because they cannot afford rent, utilities, food AND health-critical medications. Many suffer a medical crisis or accident and quickly find they are no longer able to live independently. With incomes at, below or near poverty, they have few good long-term care choices and often, nowhere to turn for help.

Mary Ryder Home is committed to serve the fastest growing segment of the elderly population: those struggling in poverty, who can no longer live independently. The programs and services Mary Ryder Home provides to these Seniors every day are costly. Approximately 86% of Mary Ryder Home’s funding is from Residents’ rent, State of Missouri and United Way of Greater St. Louis. The rest comes from donors like you.

Your financial support helps Mary Ryder Home provide a safe home, compassionate care and a quality life to more than 110 Seniors each year through our Assisted Living/Residential Care programs and services. Donations from you, as well as corporations and foundations, make the difference—without each gift we could not continue to provide the highest quality of care, therapeutic programs and services to Seniors in our community who need them most.

Why do we do what we do? Because they deserve our help!
