The Spirit of Hope Society is Broward House’s giving society comprised of individuals who make an annual gift to Broward House to support its programs and services. Name recognition will be given in Broward House publications and marketing materials unless you prefer to remain anonymous. In certain instances, a donation may include the ability to name a program or facility.

Monthly payments by credit card or direct deposit are welcomed and encouraged. For example:

A Level 1 pledge of $1200 (just $100 per month) will provide to our residents:

• Welcome Bags with items such as towels, toothbrush and basic toiletries for many residents who often enter our facilities without any basic necessities.

• Four months of educational, interactive socialization with an activities coordinator.

A Level 2 pledge of $2400 (just $200 per month) will provide to our residents:

• A “Room in a Bag” in Broward House’s Assisted Living Facility (ALF) providing new paint, linens, towels and a new dresser.

• 5 months of assistance with prescription medications not provided by any public assistance program.

A Level 3 pledge of $3600 (just $300 per month) will provide to our residents:

• Renovation of one of our independent living apartments with new paint, bathroom fixtures, kitchen cabinets, countertops and appliances. For some residents, this is the first home they have ever had.

A Level 4 pledge of $5000 will provide to our residents:

  • Daily, individual mental health counseling and substance abuse intervention for our medical respite community.
  • An intercom system to connect all 37 rooms in the ALF so residents can remain safe and have access to nursing in case of emergency.

Maxine Lemarr has worked tirelessly for the welfare of individuals living with and affected by HIV disease. She was present for those with HIV and AIDS long before anyone in Broward County recognized their needs. She is well known throughout the Broward community as an advocate and fundraiser. During her years at Broward House she became the face of the agency and the most recognizable name associated with it.

Maxine has retired after 17 years of service as a staff member at Broward House. To honor her and recognize her efforts, Broward House has initiated the MAXINE LEMARR HUMANITARIAN FUND. The money raised through this fund will enable Broward House to provide their clients with most anything that will make their life more enjoyable. That might be a visit with a friend or family member they haven’t seen, a salon appointment, job training, cosmetic dentistry or just something extra to provide some fun. These are the kinds of things Maxine would like persons living with HIV to access who would not otherwise be able to afford them.
