Sr. Gerri Brake meets the daily needs of those “getting older” in her ministry in Panama.  She founded the “Foundation New Life” (FNL) for the poor elderly in need of  housing, nursing and assisted living care as they grow older.

Emperatriz Pitti, an 83-year-old with serious hearing and speech limitations, lives at FNL.  Over the years, she has crocheted cinctures for priests including one given to Pope Francis on his visit to Panama.  Her days are spent praying for others (you too!) and taking part in various activities.

Your care has made it possible for Sr. Gerri to help those at FNL as they grow older. We thank you for your continued prayers and generosity to help her work continue.
