The Cause: This year the International Women's Club of Cancun is supporting the Hogar de los Ancianos, which is the home for the elderly at La Ciudad de la Alegria here in Cancun. This is the ONLY residential home for the elderly north of Chetumal. It is in dire need of funding. At the moment their industrial washing machines are broken and the nuns are washing all the laundry of all the residents by hand. A number of the residents of this home are completely indigent and pay nothing to live there; in fact several of them were found wandering homeless in the streets of Cancun. The home is small but has plans to expand as soon as money allows. There is FAR greater demand for residential elderly services here than the home can meet with it's current capacity. This is an incredibly important cause and we hope everyone will support the IWC in our efforts to support el Hogar de los Ancianos.
