Dear Friend,
What could 2021 be like? Hopefully, it should be much better than 2020. Everyone would love that. We would too. It could be a healthier year. It could feel less stressful. It could be a year where we regain those life-affirming connections that make such a big difference.
But the harsh reality is that it’s not starting off great for PSS - or for the older adults we serve.
We received some tough news that our main sources of funding, coming from city and state budgets, will be cut back. Dramatically. We don’t know exactly how bad it will be, but the bottom line is that we need your help NOW.
We need your donations – large or small – more than we’ve ever needed them before.
Yes…PSS will continue to serve older New Yorkers, just like we have for nearly 60 years. We WILL persevere. We WILL help seniors and caregivers alike. Our Centers WILL continue to be places of comfort and community. We WILL not falter. But…to do so, we WILL ALSO need your help.
Please. Take a moment before the year runs out. You actually CAN make a difference and whatever you give will be both put to good use and gratefully received.
On behalf of the many older New Yorkers we serve, our Board, staff and volunteers – thank you!
May 2021 be better and more hopeful for all of us.
Rimas Jasin
Executive Director
