The Heart of Our Home

Extraordinary passion and compassion provide the daily heartbeat of the House as we strive to:

Lighten the load.
Our House is a safe, comfortable haven where each family’s unique needs are the center of our world.

Brighten the journey.
We fiercely live and breathe service, support and compassion in order to lift up the families we serve…it’s our nature, it’s our heart.

Find strength together.
Through genuine wrap-around, 24/7/365 care, our staff, volunteers, and donors directly intersect, impact, and embrace the families who live days, weeks, even months in our home-away-from-home.

A Real Cost to Care

The cost to provide both lodging and services is approximately $120 a night per family. While we do ask families staying with to contribute $25 for each night they stay, no family is ever turned away due to an inability to donate.
