Helping Our Own was created to offer that assistance. Helping Our Own is funded by employees of Saint Louis University for employees of Saint Louis University. The program exemplifies our Jesuit mission in action - a community concerned for one another and committed to serving those in need. Requests are to be made in writing by the employee in need or by a colleague, with the permission of the employee who is to benefit. Each request will be considered by a committee of employees from the home campus.
All requests are confidential.
Payments will not be made directly to the employee, but to the company or organization the employee owes. The amount given is a gift. However, when possible, employees will be asked to make a partial contribution or payment towards the total amount. Because the program is dependent solely upon employee gifts, any donation, large or small, has a big effect. Through payroll deduction.
