Tenleigh Stokes was born 8 weeks premature in 2012. She had multiple bone deformations, including missing ribs, scoliosis, and an abnormally small chest wall. She was eventually diagnosed with Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome, a rare condition that affects less than 4,000 children in the U.S. Hospitality Homes takes away a major burden.
Without their support, we would be worried about how to find somewhere safe and affordable to stay. And they make Boston feel like home while we are away from home because they take care of you while you're there, too, says Tenleigh's mom, Haylee.

Emma, of Hospitality Homes, helped us immeasurably. My brother had gone to Brigham and Women's Hospital from California for a planned 5 day stay related to eye surgery. During the preop we discovered he has serious heart valves problems- he was admitted to the Coronary Care Unit immediately. Our planned 5 day stay turned into 18 days! Emma found a way to provide housing for us both for the entire time....she was cheerful, so helpful, and just made us feel she couldn't do enough to help. What a great organization. What a great person!

For a year we have been traveling over 650 miles: 2- 3 times a month to see my husbands specialized medical team in Boston. We have been trying to figure out a more economic way to stay over night than using a hotel! We are so glad that we found out about Hospitality Homes~! It was great to be able to start the application on line - and the staff has been so supportive and helpful. It is nice to have one area in our life that we don't have to worry about. Denise has made us feel so welcomed and supported.
Thank you Hospitality Homes for all the work you are doing for family's just

HH set me up with a wonderful family that was able to host me for 3 nights. Their home was a short walk from the hospital and it was really nice for me to be so close to my parents. I can't
