Project Description

What is the mission of your company or project?
- Our mission is to provide much needed nutritional food, supplies and well-being monitoring for those who are underserved in the Brooklyn community.
Describe the problem you are solving.
- There are senior citizens and disabled adults living by themselves or lack the assistance of friends and family to provide them with basic need items and to assist them on a daily basis. Happy Seniors can provide these much needed services in the community by connecting them to local resources as well. We do outreach on a daily basis.
What is the market size/opportunity?
- Our market size and constituents are low-income and underserved seniors citizens and disabled adults living in Brooklyn. We are located directly across from NYCHA (NYC public housing).
What is your company/product about and how does it solve the problem?
- We are a social adult day care center that serves nearby low-income senior citizens and disabled adults in the community. We also offer English as-a-second language classes whenever needed.
Why are you seeking funding and how will you spend the funding?
- With this funding, we can also serve those who don't qualify for state-funded programs or their pending immigration status doesn't allow them any assistance.
Who is on your team?
- Our staff members consist of African-Americans and mostly immigrants from or descendants of the Caribbean and Southeast Asia.
With much appreciation, Happy Seniors is very grateful for any contributions which will allow for us to continue to serve the underserved community!
