🍪💙 Bellarmine College Preparatory Students Lend a Hand at JW House! 💙🍪

Last weekend, a group of students from Bellarmine College Prep spent their Saturday baking fresh cookies for our guest families and helping us take down and clean up all of our Halloween decorations.

Not only did they bring delicious treats — they brought energy, teamwork, and genuine kindness. 💪🎃✨

We are so grateful for our continued partnership with Bellarmine and are constantly inspired by how their students step up to serve our families with compassion and heart.

Thank you, Bellarmine! Your service makes JW House feel even more like home. 💛

✨ You care for them, while we care for you. ✨

Earlier this year, 19-year-old Sarah Hennessey collapsed into life-threatening illness. Flu A → Pneumonia → Strep A → Sepsis. Her heart function dropped to 25%, and she was airlifted to Santa Clara for life-saving care. Months of treatment followed — including a spinal stroke and a near-fatal battle with malnutrition — but Sarah fought back with strength and courage. 🥰

While her family cared for her, JW House cared for them.

Warm meals after 12-hour ICU days.
A bed when they weren’t sure where they’d sleep.
A community that reminded them they weren’t alone.

Families like the Hennessys inspire everything we do, and now we need your support. 💙

A generous donor will MATCH all gifts up to $25,000, doubling your impact.

➡️ Your $50 becomes $100
➡️ Your $100 becomes $200

Your generosity gives families comfort, dignity, and hope during the hardest moments of their lives.

🎃 Spreading Halloween Joy at Kaiser! 👻

Last Thursday, the JW House team crossed the street to our neighbors at Kaiser Permanente to deliver candy and Halloween goodie bags to the pediatrics unit — and what an incredible day it was! 🧡

Huge thanks to our amazing partners who made it possible:
✨ Kaiser Child Life Specialists for your warmth, coordination, and care.
🩷 NCL Willow Rose students & parents for creating the most thoughtful and festive goodie bags.
🐾 Canine Companions therapy dog teams for bringing smiles, laughter, and comfort to everyone you met.

Seeing patients, families, and staff light up with joy reminded us what community is all about — kindness, compassion, and coming together to make someone’s day a little brighter. 🌟

💙 You care for them, while we care for you. 💙

When 19-year-old Sarah Hennessey fell critically ill earlier this year, her family’s world turned upside down overnight. Diagnosed with Flu A, pneumonia, and Strep A, Sarah’s body went septic—leaving her fighting for her life in intensive care. Her parents, Maria and Dennis, never left her side, but the emotional and financial strain was overwhelming.

That’s when they found JW House—a place of comfort, stability, and hope during their hardest days.
Here, warm meals, compassionate volunteers, and a caring community reminded them they weren’t alone.

Families like the Hennessey's are why we do what we do. 💛 Your support makes moments of relief and healing possible for families facing medical crises. Now, as we enter the holiday season, we need your help more than ever to keep providing care, comfort, and community.

✨ And thanks to a generous donor, every dollar you give will be matched—up to $25,000! ✨

Together, we can continue to be a Home Away From Home for families in need.

🎃 Halloweek at JW House! 👻

Last week, our incredible JW House volunteers embodied the spooky spirit of Halloween — and they did not disappoint! From creative costumes to festive fun, our volunteers brought so much joy to our guests and families.

And on Halloween day, we had a special treat — six therapy dogs from our friends at Canine CO. stopped by, all dressed up in their paw-some costumes! 🐾 Their visit filled the House with smiles, laughter, and a whole lot of tail wags.

We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make this Halloweek so memorable. 💛

🌟 New Commnity Partnership ! 🌟

We’re thrilled to share that JW House has partnered with Eat Happy Now, a nonprofit that’s helping us bring even more warmth (and delicious food!) to our families. 🍛🥯

Since July 29, Eat Happy Now has donated over 370 meals, including generous servings of bagels and flavorful Indian dishes — all helping us continue our mission of hospitality and care.

Their mission is simple yet powerful: to connect surplus food to those who need it most, using technology to match food donations in real time — preventing waste and feeding communities. 💛

Together, we’re turning compassion into action — one meal at a time. 🍽️✨

JW House

JW House keeps families together during medical crisis by offering a welcoming home close to the hospital and providing a caring and compassionate environment that inspires hope.

Located on the campus of Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center, JW House welcomes families and individuals from area hospitals into our family for rest and self-care during the day or overnight while their loved one is in the hospital.

No family should be separated when they need each other the most.
