My Story…
In August of 2020 our lives were changed forever when our 5th son was diagnosed with leukemia at 2 years old. We were expecting our 6th child, and wondering how we were ever going to take on the next 2 years that our son would be in treatment. I could have never imagined the respite Tommy’s Place would give our family just over a year later. During the most beautiful week in october of 2021, we visited this magical place. For this first time since diagnosis, our family laughed again. We played again. We were silly, and light hearted. Johnny was the most excited and happy I had seen him in over a year. Tommy’s Place gave us something invaluable… hope that our best days were still ahead. I am proud, honored and determined to help give that hope to other children and families facing childhood cancer just like it was given to us. Please consider donating what you can to help me reach my goal, and know that you’ve helped bring a smile and a lifetime of memories to children fighting cancer! thank you!
Description
Tommy's Place is OPEN!
"Tommy's Place" is a magical vacation home for kids fighting cancer. The home, located in Falmouth on Cape Cod, is a place to relax, make memories, and most importantly have fun! To ensure privacy, one family at a time will stay in the home for up to a week, free of charge. The house has enough room for the immediate family, extended family, as well as any friends and caregivers that are all part of the support system. For these children and their families, one of the most important aspects of dealing with cancer is having a supportive community. “It takes a village” is especially true when dealing with childhood cancer. "Tommy's Place" is an HGTV Dream Home/Disney like experience with individually designed and decorated rooms, an inground swimming pool, game room, home theatre and tavern, music and arts and crafts rooms and so much more!!!
Since opening in July of 2021 Tommy's Place has served more than 40 families and is fully booked through 2022!
Thanks for your help and support we really appreciate it!!
