Referrals usually come through your child’s hospital social worker or nurse. You can also start the process yourself — visit our how to apply page for the referral form and what to bring on your first night.

We ask for a small nightly contribution where a family is able to give it, but no family is ever turned away for financial reasons. The true cost of a stay is covered by donors and volunteers.

Families with a child receiving medical treatment at a nearby hospital may be eligible. Availability depends on demand and distance from home — see our stay information for current criteria.
