Tapestry of Giving
Our donors are not just supporters; they are an integral part of our family, woven into the fabric of our organization’s mission.
Our Generous Donors
are also volunteers, selflessly giving their time, talent, and treasure to support our mission.
The Yonders, Joe and Joyce, love giving back
Dedicating their time since 2012, they have been surprised with the many options and
opportunities available both on and off campus to provide assistance. Through volunteerism, Joe and Joyce were able to learn about the Essential Care for Children program, which is the main reason they chose to support this fund with a generous gift, in memory of their beloved cousin, Barbara Nowaczyk. Essential Care for Children provides comprehensive, home-based palliative care to medically complex children and helps to minimize hospital stays and emergency room visits. It helps families navigate medical services, as well as provide psychosocial, emotional and spiritual support for their children. We offer comprehensive care from infancy through adolescence throughout Erie County and parts of Niagara and Genesee counties.
Boundless Compassion
Joyce’s compassion is boundless. You will find her often consoling a family member who is alone and going through a rough time. She will ask to join them, sit with them, andoffer an ear and kind words. Joyce helps as the “resident
plant waterer” keeping all the beautiful potted plants inside the campus green and vibrant.
