Together, we make care possible.
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in a very special expression of love and community, #SistersCaringForSisters.
From education to healthcare, advocacy to prayer, IHM Sisters have always reached out to those in need — including one another. This year for #GivingTuesday, we’re focusing on a tangible act of care with the purchase of two new featherweight wheelchairs.
A typical wheelchair weighs 35-45 pounds, but these featherweight wheelchairs, at only 13.5 pounds will help lighten the load for our volunteers and sisters — whether transporting a sister to a doctor visit, meeting or special shopping trip.
This Giving Tuesday, your gift is more than a donation — it’s a sign of shared love and a reminder that none of us walks alone. Thank you for helping us continue our mission of caring, in body and spirit.
Featherweight Wheelchair Features:
Lightweight, comfortable, and easy to maneuver, this chair enables greater independence and freedom — a simple yet powerful gift that honors dignity and enhances quality of life.

Our goal is to raise $1,300 to purchase two chairs
Each featherweight wheelchair costs $650. Will you help us reach our goal? Every dollar counts and brings us closer to helping a sister care for a sister.
“When you lose mobility, the simplest things can feel out of reach. Wheelchairs aren’t just equipment — they are a way to rejoin the rhythm of daily life. These lightweight chairs will also help caregivers, like me, with loading and unloading. I am deeply grateful for every person who will help make this possible.”
— Sister Loretta Schroeder, IHM
