The Problem
Families staying at the Ballard House are often there because a loved one is receiving medical treatment, which can be an extremely stressful and emotional time. Many families feel overwhelmed, worried, and far from their normal support systems while caring for someone who is sick. During these difficult moments, small acts of kindness and encouragement can make a meaningful difference. We want to help address the emotional stress and isolation these families may experience by sharing messages of kindness, encouragement, and support to remind them that their community is thinking of them and cares about what they are going through.
