ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
HJI is a non
profit foundation committed to providing critical support to families of
Georgetown University Hospital pediatric cancer patients during their pursuit
of life-saving stem cell transplants at Duke University Medical Center. As a
result of a cooperative arrangement between Duke and Georgetown, numerous
pediatric patients go from Georgetown to Duke for stem cell transplants every
year.
The families of the patients must establish and maintain a second home–an expense that is almost never covered by any health insurance. Often, one parent stays at home with the patient’s siblings, and the other parent leaves his or her job and moves to North Carolina to care for their child. The stress, anxiety, and disruption of having a very sick child are compounded by these extreme financial and logistical burdens.
HJI’s mission is to make this trip less disruptive for families who must move to Durham for their child’s treatment. We are proud to say that HJI has one freshly renovated and furnished apartment in Durham in use for families at no cost while their child is receiving treatment at Duke Medical Center. For more information, please see the HJI Foundation website.
