Gather Around the Fire: $100K in 100 Days
Because no family should face a child’s medical journey alone.

When a child is hospitalized, the whole family suffers. Parents juggle jobs and hospital stays. Siblings sleep in waiting rooms and cars. Families travel hundreds of miles, often with nowhere to stay and nothing left to give.

At Hand to Heart Village, we’re changing that story.

We help families stay together through the hardest days by providing lodging, travel, meals, sibling support, and whole family-centered trauma therapy so parents can focus on what truly matters: their child’s healing.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 in 100 Days to fund meals, travel, lodging, and trauma therapy for families in crisis across the U.S. Every dollar fuels our mission to build the first Village - a place where medically fragile families can rest, recover, and rebuild together.
