Help ClarionForest VNA Survive Cuts
Tax deductible
The mission of the Clarion Forest Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) is to provide care to people, regardless of the patient’s ability to pay to the extent that funds are available, but now that is getting harder and harder to do.
“While for many years, the donations we received have been adequate to fulfill our mission that has changed over the last four years,” said VNA Executive Director Jill Over. “So far in our current fiscal year that ends Dec. 31, 2017, we show a loss of more than $250,000. And this follows three years of less severe losses.”
The VNA is grateful to the generous support provided by the people of its service area. Aware of the cuts in funding at several different levels, Explore Clarion is planning a special challenge to raise additional funds. Explore Clarion is establishing a Go Fund Me page and committing to matching the first $1,000 donated.
“When Explore Clarion asked if we would consider being the first recipient of funds from what they hope to make an annual fundraiser, I was humbled and hopeful,” said Over. “Most of our pleas go to those that have utilized our services in the past, and this will get our message out to a larger group of people, and people that may need us to be here in the future.”
While VNA has a simple mission in providing services to people regardless on their ability to pay, the changing in existing funding is making the mission more and more difficult without additional funding.
The mission may be simple, but the facts are complicated. Please take the time to read the facts about the Clarion Forest VNA’s operation and the very really challenges it is facing.
