Tahanan ni Maria
A home for the aged located in Cavite, Philippines that provides a home for seniors abandoned by their families and found living on the streets. This is a 50-bed facility that houses and feeds the elderly who are very poor and unable to care for themselves.

 
Tahanan ni Maria receives funds from non-profit organizations to run their facility.  They take in seniors living on their own, without family or any means of support, some suffering from dementia.  The home has nursing students who care for the residents and receive school nursing credits in return.  Tahanan ni Maria is Tagalog for "Mary's House."

How Bundles of Joy Helps Out
 
With the help of our very generous supporters, we have been able to ship boxes full of old clothes, books, prescription reading glasses and household items to the residents at Tahanan ni Maria.  Every little donation helps to let these seniors know that they are not forgotten and that we do care about them.
