Together, We're Making a Difference

Our families are unique, each with their own stories of adversity, remarkable strength, and survival – stories that we’re proud to be a part of.

Measuring Our Impact

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

For the children and families who find comfort within our walls, your support does not go unnoticed.

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

Together, we’ve created an atmosphere where children can create beautiful memories, and enjoy enriching experiences, therapies, and activities designed with their unique needs in mind.

We are grateful for the impact your support continues to have on the children and families within our care. We hope you enjoy seeing 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.
