Thank You, Clara Abbott
The year 2020 marked the 80th anniversary of The Clara Abbott Foundation. Click here to read about the remarkable woman behind our unique organization.
The Foundation helped Lucas and his family with their monthly expenses and repairs after two floods. Jules’ received help to equip a vehicle the family could use to safely transport their son with special needs. Kyle is using the degree he earned with the help of the Foundation’s scholarship program to teach children in Africa. Lorenzo was given assistance to avoid taking a loan for his daughter’s medical expenses, and allowed him to provide for his family. The Foundation helped cover costs of Ji’s wife’s medical treatments that were remaining after insurance coverage was depleted. An Abbott retiree, the Foundation helped Edith to purchase dentures and eyeglasses that were out of reach for her personal finances.
