About our Guests

NICU Parents

There are many reasons why a baby would need to go to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Some babies are only in the NICU for a few days and some need the special care for months. No matter how long the baby needs to be in the NICU, it is important for parents to have a safe and restful place to stay and still be close to the hospital, until they can take their baby home.

Cancer Patients

A cancer diagnosis affects the entire family. And a comfortable place to rest and spend time with a family member can make a big difference in the emotional and physical health of the patient. However, few families can afford the long hotel stays, compounded by lost income, when a loved one must remain near their hospital or clinic for treatment.
