Who is
Desert Ministries? |
|
|
We are a
Christian organization dedicated to serving the frail elderly
living in nursing homes. Many of them suffer from severe depression
brought on by feelings of abandonment and loneliness. They are
at the mercy of an industry in crisis. Now when they need help the
most, there is no one there for them. We recruit and train people to
be "family" and advocates for them. We serve them regardless of their
religion, race, ethnicity, or gender. |
