Hear From Families

While our children create beautiful memories within our walls, their parents can rest easy knowing their child is loved and cared for. With your help we are providing exceptional care, enriching the lives of children and families, and building towards our shared vision of a world where no child is too complex to receive the love, care, and support they deserve.

“The first time I pulled into the driveway of The Darling Home for Kids for my daughter’s first overnight stay, I cried. I cried because I was excited, this was her first sleepover without mommy or daddy. I cried because I was feeling relieved to get a break from caregiving. I cried because I felt guilty for feeling relieved. But most of all, I cried because I was feeling so grateful. Grateful that a Home like this existed, grateful for how warm, welcoming, and comfortable the team at the Home made me feel, and grateful for all of the people, like you, who want to help families like mine.”
Diana DHK mom
“Thank you so much for supporting The Darling Home for Kids. Because of you, they are able to offer programs that contribute to a more inclusive community, welcoming children regardless of the medical challenges they may face, so they too can have the wonderful experiences that all children should enjoy. The contributions you have made support not only the children who attend, but provide support to each child’s whole family, often giving them a chance to recharge and rest so that we can continue to be the best parents we can be to our kids.”

Measuring Our Impact

Our Annual Reports are an opportunity for us to reflect on how far we’ve come, and to set our gaze ahead to the future.

Together we’ve helped families reconnect. We’ve helped overwhelmed parents find comfort and solace within our Family Support Programs, and we’ve helped siblings forge lasting friendships with peers in similar circumstances.

We are grateful for the impact your support continues to have on the children and families within our care. We hope you enjoy reading all we’ve been able to accomplish together.

What Our Donors Are Saying

Our Supporters

The Darling Home for Kids provides high quality services to medically fragile children in a boutique-like oasis. The Home is large enough to help many families yet small enough that each child gets the hands-on attention they need. This state-of-the-art home provides respite care to families who need it most. I have been a supporter of the Home for years by attending events as well as being a monthly donor. If you have not had the opportunity to visit the Home. I would highly recommend doing so. Once you see the work done by the fantastic staff and how happy the kids are in this truly unique environment, I’m sure you will want to get involved and perhaps become a monthly contributor as well.
