“It was invaluable to have a place so close to our daughter. A resting place nearby.”
- Kristien, caring mother
“After experiencing the invaluable worth of a home near the hospital ourselves, we now gladly help others less fortunate by offering a temporary-home-near-the-hospital.”
- Hella, experienced host family
“Completely away from the hospital feeling, yet so close. We could retreat into our bubble, in a comfortable and homely atmosphere. A host family that does everything to make you feel at home.”
- Romy and partner, caring parents from the Netherlands
