About

The mission of the We Are One Heart nonprofit is simple: to provide affordable senior care housing, living assistance, and resources to low-income seniors and veterans.

Now more than ever, the generation that took care of us needs our help. According to the National Council on Aging, over 15 million Americans aged 65 and older are living at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. That means our seniors are struggling with rising housing and health care bills, inadequate nutrition, lack of access to transportation, diminished savings, and more.

We know this to be true because of our founder Pat T. Nixon’s experience with her father. After assuming care for him, she and her siblings quickly learned that assistance for those who could no longer care for themselves was much like a puzzle with several missing pieces. It was a challenge, but her passion and commitment to her father’s well-being became the driving force to create We Are One Heart.
