Our Mission:

To provide a supportive, convenient, comfortable and affordable "home-away-from-home" for families of children (ages 21 and younger) receiving medical care in Siouxland.

"Come rest your weary body. Ease your tired mind.
Let the hours of daily pressure stop if only for a brief time.
Sit and talk to people, just like you.
Who walk down that uncertain highway and look for guidance too.
Let us take the daily decisions and put them on our backs.
A meal, a bed, a ride, or a place for just a moment to relax."
- Lori French -
