Respite Housing
Since 1986, thousands of critically ill children and their families have used our respite homes free of charge to renew their energy and spirit throughout their child’s exhausting medical treatment. Believe In Tomorrow opened its first permanent pediatric respite facility in 1996, the Believe In Tomorrow House on Fenwick Island. Since then, the foundation has acquired both ocean and mountain resort properties. Recognizing the ever growing need for these unique and meaningful programs, Believe In Tomorrow is dedicated to the national expansion of our respite housing facilities. The foundation currently operates four respite facilities with a fifth set to open in 2010.
“Staff greeted us and instantly became our friends— friends who understood that we were probably overwhelmed and took every measure to make us comfortable.”
Hospital Housing
Since 1993, the Believe In Tomorrow’s Children’s House at Johns Hopkins has provided accommodations to families, traveling from throughout the United States and the world, seeking medical treatment at the internationally famous Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. The Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House at Johns Hopkins serves as a model for pediatric hospital housing in the United States and sits on the grounds of Johns Hopkins Hospital. The door to the house is only steps away from an entrance to the hospital.
“It is difficult to quantify how much this tremendous gift meant to our family.”
In 2006, Believe In Tomorrow opened the door on a long anticipated and highly unique hospital housing facility. The Believe In Tomorrow House at St. Casimir serves as the first stand alone hospital housing facility in the country that caters exclusively to pediatric, bone marrow transplant patients. It stands as the first and only facility of its kind.
