Dear Friend,
As Family House enters our third year of living amidst COVID, we are proud that we haven’t missed a single day in providing the best place to be during the worst time in a family's life.
We want to extend a special thanks to our restaurant partners who have been helping us feed our families, the foundation and corporate donors who continue to support us with generous donations, and our incredible Board of Directors and individual donors who have gone above and beyond to ensure we can always provide care, comfort and compassion to every family in need.

Three days before baby Jensen was born in 2019, doctors informed Jill and Jason Blanks that their baby had a 0% chance to live.
Born weighing just 1 lb. and 12 oz., Jensen surprised the world! After leaving the hospital, Jill and Jason had to figure out medical bills and housing. That's when they found Family House.

Elan Slavin, MSW - 5 Years! |
Since the arrival of our Social Worker, Elan Slavin, there has been another beacon of support at Family House. Her expertise and compassion are exactly what the doctor ordered in providing family-centered care for all. We are grateful for Elan and the essential role she plays in supporting sick children and their families. |

Fidel works in the housekeeping department helping to keep the building clean and safe. He goes out of his way to help everyone staying, working or visiting Family House. Fidel is truly an example of what we stand for with a compassionate way of playing games with the kids, and providing genuine support for the families - whether it's helping with their luggage or moving furniture to help accommodate a sick child's comfort. Fidel truly loves working at Family House and has never missed a single day of work in five years! |

Ung started as an Engineering Supervisor at Family House, responsible for housekeeping and building maintenance. He was promoted to Director of Facilities in August 2020. Ung works with families and employees to make sure they are safe and that the building is maintained in a like new condition. He goes above and beyond - driving families when there is a need, picking up toys, food and donations in the Family House van or helping kids build a toy or play catch in the halls. He is a gentle and kind person who always has the time to talk and help families or staff with their needs.
