A Home Away From Home

The most meaningful part about volunteering here is seeing the families be able to just come in and grab a meal. Giving them one less thing to worry about meant a great deal to me, and I am sure to them as well.

My son Kingston had to undergo a liver transplant at five months old. We were so grateful to stay at Family House — it was a beautiful, safe place to stay during his treatment, and they truly made us feel like family.

Family House is always the first place I think of when I can lend a hand. The care, heart, and support they provide to families is truly unmatched — it’s a special organization with incredible heart and soul.

Unfortunately cancer doesn’t come alone, it comes with bills and driving to the hospital. We are very blessed to have a place to stay, with warm food while our daughter is receiving chemo. Driving 275 miles each way is hard with a sick child.
