| | Fundraising | |
Despite the recession, despite tough economic times, and despite nay-sayers, Joe's House is in better financial shape than last year! We had a great year, thanks to all of our donors.
It may seem trite, but it's true, we literally would not be here if it weren't for all of the folks that continue to give to us year after year. Your donations are the fuel that allows us to keep our database so robust and help all types of patients from all over the country find lodging. Thank you, thank you! | We're Moving!

| | Patients From All Over The Country Get Help From Joe's House!
Patients and family members from all over the country use Joe's House to help them find lodging when they are away from home for life saving treatment. Here are some stories from the past year:
- Frank and his wife traveled to Fresno from their home for surgery. Although Fresno is not listed on our site, we were able to help Frank out with suggestions from our nation-wide hotel partners (see Lodging Partners).
- Janey, a social worker from rural Texas reached out to Joe's House to find lodging for a couple traveling to Milwaukee for treatment. By speaking to our agent at the toll free line and looking at www.joeshouse.org, they were able to find affordable and convenient lodging.
- And finally Juan. Juan's oldest son had brain surgery in New York during the holiday season. During the very busy week leading up to New Year's Eve Juan had to change accommodations. Joe's House was able to give him some suggestions and help him find alternative lodging when the city was almost sold out.

Year End Renewal: Every single place to stay on our website must be renewed and updated each year. What a job! Starting in October we reached out to over 1500 places to stay. We had a great response and are just finishing up the remaining hotels, apartments, hospitality houses and inns on the site. Most have come back for a second, third and even fourth year. Plus, we have lots of new partners in cities across the country.
Know of a lodging option that we missed? Or, a hotel that is near a hospital that is not on the site? Send us a message at info@joeshouse.org.
