POLISH ASSISTANCE

Polska Bratnia Pomoc Providing food, shelter, comfort, and hope to those in need
Our Mission
The Polish Assistance's mission is to provide assistance to persons of Polish origin who are at risk or in crisis due to poverty, mental or physical illness We share with you a few of our recent cases where your donations matter
  • Our oldest recipient is 92 years old and has been receiving assistance since 2021.
  • Due to a very restricted diet, one of our volunteers delivers a food package to a homebound woman weekly.
  • A family of six has been receiving monthly financial aid from Polish Assistance since 2014.
  • We just approved assistance for two underage boys. Their father killed their mother in front of one of them. And now their mother is gone, and their father is in jail for 20 years. How do you recover from this?
  • A 5-year recipient of our aid has Stage 5 chronic kidney disease, also known as end-stage renal disease. He has been in this country for 38 years and has no family. It’s heartbreaking.
  • These are just a few cases...
But we also have good news
  • We can now report that a recipient that is an ex-trucker that had his leg amputated is now receiving disability benefits. Their 3 children go to school and the oldest one works part time. Unfortunately, the mother has dementia and requires oversight. They are thankful for the support they have received.
  • Update: Homeless woman that lived in a tent is now being taking care of by the nuns and we are part of a team that is trying to relocate her to Poland. She has dementia.
  • We are particularly proud of our nonverbal young man who is on the Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), who has passion for music, particularly piano therapy. He has been receiving accolades from the news media and the local community. He will be again performing in Poland this summer. His story is highlighted on www.bozenagasior.com . He and his family are truly inspirational.
Your support enables us to bring stability to these individuals by providing basic needs for housing, food and healthcare -
We serve an aging population that unfortunately will not be able to achieve long-term financial stability and most will be life long recipients of our aid.
Offcial poverty guideline starts at $12,060 per person. We sadly report that our applicatns meet this criteria.
We help these individuals in a foreign land live out their lives with dignity. 3% of U.S. population declared Polish heritage. Some need help. And we need to be there for them.
We rely 100% on your financial support to help these individuals as we do not receive any assistance from federal, state nor local agencies. We are solely depended on your contributions..
