Review for Christopher's Haven, Boston, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Christopher's Haven is an outstanding place for children with cancer, their parents and the other caregivers who travel to Mass General Hospital with them for proton beam therapy. I have heard countless times from families that dealing with their child's illness is overwhelming but that Christopher's Haven offers respite, community and comfort that they could not believe existed. The lodging that Christopher's Haven provides is located across the street from the hospital where the children and their families spend countless hours. The apartments are well professionally decorated, comfortable and dignified. At the end of a long day, clients can return to a place they can call home.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

When I meet the familes and interact with the children.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Get the word out across the country and be able to draw on donors from all parts of the US.

Role:  Volunteer & I havehelped plan the annual gala & auction event for the past three years.
