Family House Stories
A Safe Place for Roman
Roman loves to kick the soccer ball and practice dribbling outside in the courtyard—his favorite place to play!
“I don’t know what we’d do without Family House,” said Roman’s mom, Mariela. “We feel very safe here, and that is the best environment for Roman now.”
Roman’s parents, Mariela and Ricardo, first came to Family House in 2021 when Roman was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer.

Ways to Give
As tax season begins, now is a good time to talk with your tax and financial professionals about including Family House in your estate planning. Your gift will provide lasting support and enable families in need to live in dignity during a child’s medical crisis.
You can make a planned gift by including Family House in your will, as a beneficiary on a retirement account or life insurance policy, and by establishing a charitable trust. These gifts can result in substantial tax savings.
