I am honored to be the Executive Director of Abraham House. It is a privilege to be connected with so many wonderful volunteers and staff who give of themselves everyday to the mission of Abraham House. We have a sacred mission at Abraham House and we will always be mindful of this.
I want to thank all of you who have supported Abraham House in the past and will continue to support us. Your support ensures our ability to provide a loving home free of charge to the terminally ill in our community. Working together we can continue our sacred mission.
What I have been so impressed with since I have been at Abraham House is the generosity of this community. Whenever we had a need, there was always someone who was willing to help us out. I am humbled by all of your generosity.
Why do we do what we do at Abraham House?
- To give our guests and family members a secure, compassionate and loving home.
- To allow wives to be wives, sons to be sons and let us be the caregivers.
- To provide 24 hour surrogate caregivers for the people who are no longer safe to be home alone.
- To give families peace of mind that their loved ones are well cared for in a safe home.
- Because it is the right thing to do to provide dignity and care to someone who is dying.
We have an exciting event coming up, called the “March Meatball Madness” Taste Competition which will be held Sunday, March 7 from noon – 4:00 p.m. at the Blue Flag Room at the Historic Utica Train Station. It is an event for the whole family. For more information, please go to our “News” section on this website to learn more about it. Other places across the nation have done a Meatball Madness and it has been very successful. Advance sale tickets are available for $9.00. Please call us at 733-8210 to pick up your tickets or watch the Observer Dispatch for $1.00 off coupons. Come and be a part of the success of this event and help be a part of elevating the status of the meatball in the Mohawk Valley!
