Born from personal experience and built on a conviction that no family should carry this alone.

Our journey began when our son was just seven months old. A renal diagnosis brought us to Boston Children's Hospital. We were far from home, far from familiar, and stepping into a season of unknowns that would stretch across years of travel, treatment, and trust.

What made those early days so hard was not just the medical weight of it all. It was the vulnerability. The uncertainty of not knowing what came next medically, financially, or practically. Traveling with an infant, navigating a city that wasn't ours, and trying to hold everything together.

In our first years of travel, we were placed with a gracious family who opened their home to us. Those moments of generosity were lifelines. But there were many years that followed when housing assistance was simply not available. We were among the families who fell through the gap. From those early years, we knew we wanted to pay forward the kindnesses shown to our family and the small gestures that lessened the burden and allowed us to breathe. God has placed in our hands the ability to build something that does exactly that, and leaves a lasting impression on the families that come after us.

Our journey is not over. We still travel. We still understand the road that other families are on, because we are still on it ourselves. And that is exactly why Aurora House could not wait. This is not a cause we discovered from a distance, it is one we lived from the inside. Every family we will ever serve is a family we recognize, because we have been that family.

Aurora House exists because of the people who showed up for us and because of the families who are still waiting for someone to show up for them.

We intend to be that someone.
