The spirit of the Senior Ark Fund is to offer financial assistance to those 65 years and over and within 200% of poverty to live as long as they wish in their place of choice.
Donating to Senior Ark will provide funding to the elderly who are in poverty and low-income situations and are presented with emergency home repairs which are episodic in nature.
