Our Programs

Hospital & Respite Housing

The Believe In Tomorrow
House at St. Casimir primarily
serves bone marrow
transplant patients.

Believe In Tomorrow provides exceptional hospital and respite housing services to critically ill children and their families with clean, comfortable facilities that serve as a tool for families to rejuvenate and reconnect.

Our hospital housing facilities, the Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House at Johns Hopkins and the House at St. Casimir, serve as national models for other hospital housing programs. St. Casimir is the only hospital housing facility in the nation dedicated exclusively to pediatric bone marrow transplant patients. The Children's House, our largest and most recognizable facility, sits just across the street from Johns Hopkins hospital and is viewed as a leading pediatric hospital facility.

Our five respite facilities were the first and remain the only of their kind in the nation. Families who experience our properties discover the serenity, proximity, and time needed to bond and mend the supportive web of family life.

Hands On Adventures

Children who experience one of these adventures learn to believe in and focus on the future rather than the stressful routine of hospital visits.

In today’s environment, one parent will likely deploy during the child’s treatment. Believe In Tomorrow works to alleviate the difficulties and stress military families often experience while caring for a critically ill child. In 2005, we made the decision to prioritize military pediatrics in the respite housing program.
