Our Purpose

Our purpose is to plan fundraisers and apply for grants. We are trying to renovate an 1890's Victorian Building into a three-story Respite House! This will be a Vermont Level III Residential Care Home and will provide services to any one who is any age whether they can pay or not. The first floor of this house will be for Hospice and End of Life Care, the second floor will be for pre-op/post-op cancer treatment care, and the third floor will be for true Respite Care. This is going to be a 15 bed facility with two family apartments attached to the building for families to stay for free when their loved ones are receiving care from us.
