Thank you for your support of one of Washington’s best small charities! Your donation to Iona makes a difference to your neighbors, their families and our whole community.
Just consider that it just takes $100 to deliver excellent, compassionate one-on-one counseling to a senior who is all alone and vulnerable because of illness, disability or grief. That one hour of counseling is the difference between a life that continues to be lived in independence, or a life lived in unnecessary and expensive institutionalization.
Your $1,000 gift means the world to a family facing the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease. Your contribution to Iona helps them receive case management, support groups and participation in Iona’s award winning Adult Day Health, Wellness and Arts Center. Their loved one receives person-centered care during the day with exercise, art therapy, fellowship and stimulation while they receive a much needed respite from the responsibilities of caregiving.

"Iona has been such a blessing for both my husband who has Alzheimer’s and for me. From my first visit in 1997 of the Day Health Center to the present day, I continue to be impressed with the professional expertise of each staff member and the gentle loving, compassionate care they give each patient."
