INDIANAPOLIS — It appears things could be looking up for an Indianapolis organization that has been experiencing money woes.

A $100,000 donation was gifted to Joy's House Adult Day and Caregiving Center in Broad Ripple on Tuesday.

Joy's House was in danger of shutting down due to a decrease in donations and new cuts to Medicaid.

For the past two decades, Joy's House has been a home away from home for folks who need a little special attention.

Joy's House is still working to reach their goal of $559,000 by November 1.

Donations can be made online at joyshouse.org,via phone at 317-254-0828 or by mail to Joy’s House, 2028 East Broad Ripple Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46220.
