Yellow Door Foundation

Yellow Door Foundation Charity provides apartment lodging for families with a child fighting cancer or undergoing an organ transplant at UVA Children's hospital.

The Yellow Door Foundation understands that when a child is diagnosed with cancer, or needs an organ transplant, the entire family must shift away from the life they know in order to seek out the best treatments possible. This often means relocating for an extended period of time. For families with an immunocompromised child being treated at UVA Children’s hospital in Charlottesville, VA, Yellow Door provides fully-equipped individual apartments, FREE of charge, for the duration of the child’s treatment. We become their home away from home,
in the best environment possible to ensure positive outcomes. Families stay with us an average of 71 days, over 100 days for cancer families. Affording alternate lodging for that length of time is not feasible for the majority of families. Thanks to support from our community and beyond, Yellow Door is able to relieve that financial burden, while providing hope and healing for patients, siblings, parents and grandparents during the toughest times of their lives.

Stay strong Joshua! Sending positive thoughts your way 💛

6 months ago, Joshua got his T cells collected for CAR-T therapy; they were returned to him in November. Next week is a follow up scan to see if they’re still working. We will keep you posted but please pray for positive results. We would love nothing more than to move on to bone marrow transplant at the end of the month! 🩸
