Where Family Stays.
The reality of having a hospitalized child can be one of the most stressful experiences a family can endure. Add to that the challenge of being far from home, in a foreign environment, and stress can mount even more. Moms and dads, brothers and sisters, and extended family stay for as long as their child is receiving treatment at the hospital.
Open 365 days a year, the House offers comfortable bedrooms with private baths, fully equipped kitchens with dining areas, playrooms, laundry facilities, and informal gathering areas. To relieve stress, lunch and dinner are provided daily at no charge to families. Additional free services like massages, haircuts, and other stress relieving activities are available on a semi-regular basis, all provided by generous donors from the community.
The House operation relies on volunteers and donations received from the private sector, groups, and individuals. Monetary donations, in addition to in-kind goods and services, are needed for general operations.
