Our current contingent of 16 host families provided lodging for 2550 guest nights last year alone.  Host families strive to provide a normal family environment for their guests.  A day spent in a medical facility can be one that is debilitating both mentally and physically.  However, returning to surroundings that are comfortable, safe and nurturing helps one to maintain a healthy perspective.   In many instances, the guest many even become involved in some of the families' activities thus providing a much needed diversion from their present trials. Our host homes offer a warm and inviting space where an individual can unwind, regroup and rest.

The hosts who participate in our service receive the satisfaction that they are helping others in need during a challenging time.  Further, the compassion shown by these host families often serves to nurture a similar feeling among others within their respective communities.
