Hospice of Acadiana has launched the Case for Compassion Capital Campaign
to raise the $2.3 million to build a 12-bed in-patient hospice house — the first multi-million dollar campaign in its 37-year history. The cost includes all planning, permitting, engineering, architectural, construction and fundraising costs.

“Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received, and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.”

-- Mother Teresa of Calcutta

We have an incredible opportunity and responsibility to foster and support a loving environment for each person's final moments on this earth. It is a privilege for us to serve the patients and families who entrust us with their care. And, we could not do it without the help and generosity of our community. Help us provide those in need the safe, peaceful, comforting passage from this life that we all deserve.

"It is obvious that man is himself a traveler; that the purpose of this world is not 'to have and to hold' but 'to give and to serve'. There can be no greater meaning." — SIR WILFRED GRENFELL

All gifts of $5,000 or more will be recognized on the Memorial Wall in the hospice house.
