“Having a comfortable, welcoming place close to Ivy has allowed us to focus on what matters most: being by her side.”

When a child is receiving medical care, every moment matters. That's why Harper's Home provides families with a free place to stay near Duke Children's Hospital, so they can focus on their child, not where they'll sleep.
We're honored to support families like the Heaths during some of life's most challenging moments.

Knock, knock. 🚪

We’re getting closer.

Today, doors arrived at our Strebor Street campus. It may seem like a small thing, but every new piece of this project brings us closer to the day families walk through these doors and into a safe place to stay near Duke Children’s.

Thank you, Talbert Building Supply for this special Friday delivery!

We cannot believe it, but Harper turns 13 next month! In lieu of gifts, we’re inviting our community to help raise $13,000+ in her honor, so that more families can stay close to Duke during their child’s medical journey.

Because of you, our Kendra Scott event raised almost $1,000 for Harper’s Home!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shopped online, shared the event, and helped make this fundraiser such a success. Your generosity brings us one step closer to welcoming families into a place of comfort, care and closeness during pediatric treatment.

Every birthday is a gift. 💚

This summer, Harper turns 13, and Harper’s Home continues to grow alongside her.

In honor of Harper’s birthday, we’re launching our Grow With Us campaign and inviting our community to give in honor of 13. Whether it’s $13, $1,300, or any amount that feels meaningful, every gift helps more families stay close when it counts during a child’s medical journey.

One year ago this week, I stepped into the full-time role of Executive Director of Harper’s Home.

Twelve months later, I’m not sure I’ve fully processed all that has happened.

In the past year, we’ve welcomed families into housing close to care, provided hundreds of nights of stability during pediatric medical treatment, broken ground on our future campus, grown our community of supporters, and continued building something I once could only imagine.

It has also been a year of hard lessons, big risks, long days, financial realities, problem-solving, and more spreadsheets, meetings, emails, and construction conversations than I knew existed.

Some days have felt inspiring. Some have felt impossibly heavy. Most have been both.

But through it all, one thing has remained clear: this work matters.

I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has believed in Harper’s Home, supported our mission, opened doors, shared our story, volunteered, donated, encouraged, and helped carry this vision forward.

One year down. A lot more work ahead. And I’m still incredibly honored to be doing it.
