<div>✨ <strong>Honor Martha’s Legacy. Help Us Fulfill Her Final Wish.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On November 30, 2025, surrounded by her husband of 63 years and her four children, <strong>Martha Cusimano</strong> took her final breath.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Her last words were simple. Urgent. Filled with love:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>“Gotta go to God… and promise me you will complete the Lima Center.”</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This fundraiser is how we keep that promise.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> <strong>What Martha Started Must Be Finished</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Martha spent nearly two decades battling cancer—and <strong>never stopped serving others</strong>.

</div>

<div>She helped build the St. Rose of Lima Food Pantry from a small effort into a lifeline serving <strong>over 70,000 hungry neighbors every year</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She raised <strong>more than $4.1 million</strong> to build the new <strong>Lima Center</strong>, a modern food pantry and gathering space that will nourish families for generations.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The only thing she didn’t get to see?

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>The day we break ground.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are just <strong>$300,000 away</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong> This Is More Than a Building. It’s Martha’s Legacy.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The Lima Center will feature:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>A <strong>commercial kitchen</strong>

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li><strong>Expanded food storage</strong> and refrigeration

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li><strong>Safe, clean, dignified distribution space</strong>

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>Rooms for <strong>community programs and support</strong>

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>It will allow us to feed more families, provide more services, and care for our neighbors the way Martha always did—with compassion, dignity, and love.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This isn’t charity.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>This is Martha’s life work continuing through us.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong> A Final Gift of Love — From Us, For Her</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Martha spent her last days talking about 

</div>

<div><strong>the poor,</strong>

</div>

<div><strong>the hungry,</strong>

</div>

<div><strong>the Lima Center,</strong>

</div>

<div>and <strong>the community</strong> she adored.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She didn’t ask for flowers.

</div>

<div>She didn’t ask for memorials.

</div>

<div>She asked for <strong>THIS</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>“Promise me you will complete the Lima Center.”</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>So today, we ask you to help us keep that promise.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>
