What donors are saying about USGM
"I feel Maher is the most effective, loving and balanced example – of ‘making life right’ – on this earth right now. Being in India with her, I witnessed her very large YES to any need she encountered! Her trust and tremendous willingness to keep ‘celebrating life’ are unending. Now her large family of youth are beginning to spread this example throughout our crying cultures. They need our support to do this! High praise! Low bow."
“I visited Maher for three months in 2013 after I heard Sr. Lucy speak in Seattle. I was skeptical that it could be as beautiful as the stories she told, but it was! It’s hard to describe the love that is expressed by all and for all. I’d expected I would bring insights from my experience with US residential programs, but the opposite was true. I learned how deep faith and commitment can create loving homes with so little. I’m proud to be a monthly donor and honored to include Maher in my estate plans.”
“I’ve had the honor to be side by side Sister Lucy in India. I’ve witnessed her compassion in action. I’ve marveled at the joy in children and adults who have been given a life off the streets. I’ve watched in awe the healing that happens when those who have been supported and held in turn support and hold others. I want to know my giving makes a difference. At Maher I know it does.”
