Home for 50 Elderly People in Argentina

Dear friends, 

This March 19th, 2026, we proudly celebrated the 91st anniversary of San José Home, our residence for older adults in Argentina. For more than nine decades, this Home has been a place of dignity, care, and companionship for elderly individuals who often arrive after experiencing deep loneliness, abandonment, or extremely vulnerable living conditions. 

This year’s celebration was especially meaningful because we shared it alongside two wonderful international volunteers, Jane and Roger, who brought joy, warmth, and generosity to our residents. Together, we spent a beautiful afternoon playing bingo, sharing stories, laughing together, and enjoying birthday cake as one big family. 

One of the most significant moments of the day was the generous donation Jane and Roger made of neurological medications for Ricardo, one of our beloved residents. Before arriving at San José Home, Ricardo had been living on the streets and facing extremely difficult circumstances. Three years ago, he became part of our community, and since then, he has grown into an essential and cherished member of the Home. 

Thanks to the kindness and support of people like Jane and Roger — and all of you who read and support our mission — we are able to continue providing Ricardo and many other residents with the care, medical support, stability, and affection they deserve. 

At San José Home,  our interdisciplinary team works every day to ensure they receive not only professional care, but also emotional support, human connection, and opportunities to continue enjoying life with dignity. 

Celebrating 91 years reminds us that a Home is built not only with walls, but with people who choose to care for one another. 

Thank you for being part of this story and for helping us continue creating a safe and loving home for older adults in Argentina. 

With gratitude, 

The Team at San José Home

Dear friends, 

This holiday season at San José Home, our residence for older adults who face loneliness and require daily care, was filled with warmth, joy, and a deep sense of togetherness. Thanks to the generosity of Fundación Pampa Energía, our residents were able to celebrate Christmas in a truly meaningful way. 

This year, the residents gathered at an early and comfortable hour to share the Christmas table all together, just like a big family. Around the table, there was laughter, companionship, and heartfelt conversation—something especially meaningful for a community where many of residents have no family and  have called San José their home for over 15 years. 

One of the most touching moments of the celebration was the delivery of the Christmas gifts donated by Fundación Pampa Energía. The smiles, expressions of surprise, and genuine happiness on the residents’ faces reminded us how powerful a simple gesture of care can be. Each present was received with gratitude and emotion, bringing light and joy to a season that can sometimes be difficult for older adults. 

As the evening unfolded, the celebration became even more special. Residents began sharing stories and anecdotes about their own Christmases as children—memories of family traditions, homemade meals, and long-forgotten moments that came back to life around the table. These shared stories created a beautiful bridge between past and present, strengthening bonds and reinforcing the feeling of belonging. 

At San José Home, we care for elderly individuals—most of them women—who struggle with loneliness and, in many cases, require specialized support due to health conditions or disabilities. Our interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and nutritionists works around the clock to provide comprehensive care, but moments like this remind us that emotional well-being and human connection are just as essential. 

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Fundación Pampa Energía for making this celebration possible and for helping us create a Christmas filled with dignity, joy, and shared memories. Your generosity turned a simple dinner into a moment of love and family. 

With gratitude and hope, 

The San José Team
