WHAT WE DO
Boston is home to multiple world-class medical institutions who lead the field in treating heart abnormalities in children. For this reason, thousands of families travel to Boston each year seeking critical medical care for their child at Boston Children’s Hospital. With the average price of a hotel in Boston costing nearly $300 per night, families risk extreme financial burden while trying to save their child’s life.
At Live4Evan, we believe that parents shouldn’t have to choose between putting food on the table and being by their child’s side while they undergo heart surgeries and other serious medical treatments. For this reason, we provide temporary housing to families who need to travel into the Boston area to treat their child with congenital heart disease.
Since March 2016, we have housed over 120 families in Live4Evan’s housing, with an average length of stay of 2 months. We currently support 6 apartments next to Boston Children’s Hospital for these families. And due to the overwhelming need and extremely high occupancy rate, we are looking to expand our housing facilities to help more families be close to their child during these overwhelming and stressful times.
CREATING A WORLD WHERE CHILDREN RECEIVE CARDIAC CARE WITH FAMILY BY THEIR SIDE
We are actively raising funds to open additional apartment and hotel housing that is conveniently located next to Boston’s leading pediatric cardiac centers. This facility will serve as a home-away-from-home for families with children suffering from congenital heart disease. These housing facilities will save our guest families hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in housing and travel fees. To make our vision a reality, we need your help to raise funds.
