Kevin Guest House

Caleb has missed the last three Thanksgiving with his family, in and out of hospital, a young man with more resilience and heart than you can imagine and we are so thankful today that the Badgley family can be together in our Lower Brick apartment on Thanksgiving ??. We visited to see the feast Sue prepared, she was so excited and offer some words for all of you. #KeepingFamiliesTogether #HappyThanksgiving2024

While working at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Joanne Janicki was one of the first creators of our volunteer dinner program, one of the most cherished programs for our volunteers & guests. Little did she know decades later, she'd be calling us to reserve a spot for her sister Kathy who had to travel several hours for radiation treatment. Kathy checked in early and camped out in the living room teaching her class via Zoom while her room was prepared. Usually this week, Joanne is helping by baking her amazing pumpkin pies to deliver to our top donors, but this year she's focused on family & thankfully having a wonderful meal with her sisters & family. We're grateful each day we can help families be together during the holidays and thankful for the many families we help in some small way when away from home.
