Share the Love Update

Sharing is caring!

We wanted to thank you all for your generous donations during the Housing Solutions for Hope February kickoff campaign. We are happy to report that Housing Solutions for Hope Guild and friends of HS4H raised over $13,000 dollars that will go directly to patient families at Seattle Children’s who are in danger of losing their home, while receiving treatment at the hospital.

We will now team with Seattle Children’s Social Work Department who will identify qualified families in greatest need. In the coming weeks we will update you with their stories

While we received over 60 donations, we also generated significant interest on social media. Thank you for following us and sharing the HS4H story with your networks.

We have 19 new Guild members who have joined to help expand our capacity to pursue the HS4H mission and vision. Joining the Guild only costs $25 annually, and membership funds go to Housing Solutions for Hope families, just the same as any normal donation.

Anyone that joined the Guild, or donated should have received a thank you letter with tax information from Seattle Children’s. We will keep you updated with our progress, and make sure you are on the list for future events.

What’s Next?

Our May fundraiser “Send a Child Home for Healing” is already being planned. We will update HS4H Guild members, donors, friends and Seattle Children’s representatives on our progress and will have speakers from Seattle Children’s and patient families for which Housing Solutions for Hope can help.

We will also talk about our goals for the future including:

-Sending a family home for the weekend
-Partnering with other Guild’s and organizations to provide alternative housing
-Buying an RV for the Seattle Children’s parking lot to be used as needed by families at Seattle Children’s
-Building a multi-unit property to house additional families who are unable to afford housing while being treated at Seattle Children’s

The event will include food and drinks. We will also have a raffle, and an opportunity to win some cool prizes like gift cards to local restaurants.
