What makes us believe
What makes us believe? The thousands of volunteers who walk through the doors of our Believe In Tomorrow Houses to donate their services every day.
We believe because schools, churches and community groups will give up entire afternoons to make our hospital and respite facilities look sparkling and new for visiting families.
We believe because one man can help heal hundreds of children, inviting them as special guests to cheer him on as he speeds down the racetrack.
“Staff greeted us and instantly became our friends— friends who understood that we were probably overwhelmed and took every measure to make us comfortable.”
We believe because we see the rewards a group of friends can earn when they show up on a cold winter evening to cook a hot meal for families staying in our Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House at Johns Hopkins and St. Casimir.
We believe because men and women of all generations have donated their time to answer phones, make welcome baskets, work events, clean fish tanks, bake cookies, take pictures, fix furniture, paint, scrub …
Thanks to Believe In Tomorrow volunteers, our children and families can take one step closer to believing in tomorrow.

Volunteer Highlight
The Children's House Treads on New Ground
Members of the Maryland and Northern Virginia Floorcovering Association visited The Believe In Tomorrow Children's House at Johns Hopkins Tuesday, June 16 and Wednesday, June 17 in a whirlwind effort to replace all of the carpeting in the house's fifteen rooms. The result: brand new carpeting - and a new ground to tread on - in a beautiful shade of blue. The Maryland and Northern Virginia Floorcovering Association also held its annual golf tournament on June 17, which raised thousands for Believe In Tomorrow programs. Thank you to the association for being outstanding contributors in the month of June.
