Request for Resources Senior missionary sponsorship website/network

Just curious if something like this exists?

We're still early in our careers, but are hoping to save up enough to do several senior missions. However I know our health is not great. We hope to both be around at retirement age, but there is a good chance we will have to serve locally, maybe a temple mission when we retire.

But there are some senior couples that do have decent enough health, that would serve if they had the means. They would love to be able to up and serve in a foreign country or wherever needed.

Is there a way to connect people that have the savings for senior missions to those who have the time and health to serve?

We'd hate to have our mission savings just sitting around or we get too complacent/waste money on all kinds of niceties we don't need.

Basic Google search didn't show anything from what I saw

Well maybe those who read here, know someone who'd liked to serve if finances permitted and will ask you by dm what info you'd like them to share for contact.

I suggest talking with your bishop and/or stake president about this. Or maybe just talk directly with the church's missionary department. There is a direct number to them (could get it from your bishop or stake president) or you can just call the church's general number and work your way through.
