Achieving This Goal:
The need for this house is great as there is currently no other facility in the Charleston area that provides these specialized services for hematological cancer patients. These patients must be within close proximity to the hospital during phases of pre- and post-treatment, and must be isolated from the general population due to a suppressed immune system. Transplant patients are required to remain within close proximity to the hospital for a period of one hundred days and are seen daily and extensively by their doctors and treatment centers... All of these circumstances add to the crisis of the disease itself with financial and emotional burdens.
On October 24, 2006 we reached an agreement with the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge and partnered with them to renovate a house located at 273 Calhoun Street in Charleston, SC. The monies for these renovations continue to be raised through donations, fund raisers, grants, and corporate sponsors. All money donated goes directly to the Parker Miracle House Foundation, Inc. for the purpose of funding this house and patient care. Naming right to the house, grounds and rooms are available to recognize, honor, and memorialize at varying monetary levels. Our philanthropic goals must continue in perpetuity to maintain this facility and provide this much needed service.
