DAVID'S HOUSE in memory of David Cyr, who died of lymphocytic leukemia, offers a home-away-from-home for children receiving treatment through CHAD at DHMC. Children aren't medical patients or motel guests at David's House; they are part of their own family. David's House is for the families of these children a retreat where they can stay to find, and give, support to their child and to each other.
DAVID'S HOUSE is a private, not-for-profit corporation receiving no assistance from DHMC or the Federal Government. It keeps administrative costs to a minimum thanks to over 150 volunteers who give thousands of hours each year. David's House asks for only a $20 donation per family per night for families with children who are receiving treatment. No one is turned away due to the inability to pay. Room revenues cover less than 10% of annual operating expenses. The rest comes from fund raising events, grants, and the generous support of people who care about these families.
On behalf of all the families who need David's House now and in the future, thank you. There are many ways you can help David's House continue to provide a supportive, caring environment for families during their difficult challenges. For more information about how you can help David's House please call the house at 603/643-2298 or visit the web at www.davids-house.org
Remember even in difficult times, illness and injury still occur. We hope that you will dig deep in support of this much needed home, and know that what ever you can do, no amount is too small!
I thank god everyday that I don't know someone who is in need of David's House, and I thank god everyday that David's House is there for those that do.
