“I want them to feel less alone.”

During A Night of Hope, Kemp Care Network CEO Danielle Zucchet shared what she hopes Keaton’s House will offer children living with serious illness and their families.

A place where children feel safe, cared for and seen as children, not just their diagnosis. And where parents and caregivers can take a break, knowing their child is receiving specialized, around-the-clock care.

Thank you to The Levie Initiative and the S*t My Dad Taught Me podcast for giving Danielle the opportunity to share Keaton’s story and the vision behind Keaton’s House – Paul Paletta Children’s Hospice.

Construction is moving forward at Keaton’s House.

Today, we gathered with project partners, campaign leaders and community supporters to mark the next phase of construction for Keaton’s House – Paul Paletta Children’s Hospice in Dundas.

The 10-bed children’s hospice will provide children living with serious illness and their families with another option for specialized pediatric hospice palliative care, closer to home.

With $17.7 million raised toward the $25 million goal, today’s construction kickoff was a chance to recognize the progress happening onsite and the many people helping make this project possible.

Thank you to our partners, donors and supporters who continue to stand behind Keaton’s House.

Construction is underway.
