Coffee. Conversation. Possibility.

You don’t need a polished proposal to reach out about Briana’s House. Start with the general location, whether you own or represent the property, and whether a donation conversation is welcome. From there, we can discuss what information would help. This is a planned non-medical respite home, so suitability and practical requirements would need review.

Send a brief property introduction by email. [email protected]

New month. Same big ask.

November is here, and Giving Tuesday is one month away. Our biggest project need remains a place for Briana’s House: donated land or a suitable building on Long Island. We’re working toward a non-medical respite home where families facing childhood cancer can spend time together. Brookhaven and the East End are our focus for property conversations.

If you know a willing owner, start a private email introduction. [email protected]

You don’t need a spare house.

We realize most people don’t have a spare parcel of land tucked behind the lawn mower. But you might know a property owner, real estate professional, or community leader who could help. Briana’s House is a planned non-medical respite home for families facing childhood cancer. A thoughtful introduction could help us find its future Long Island location.

Send this to one person whose work connects them with property owners.

Big heart. Still house-hunting.

Our Giving Tuesday wish list has one rather large item: a place to make Briana’s House possible. We’re working toward a non-medical respite home on Long Island where families facing childhood cancer can rest and spend time together. We’re seeking donated land or a suitable building, with a focus on Brookhaven and the East End. The house is still a plan. The need for the right introduction is real.

Know an owner who may be open to a conversation? Introduce us privately by email. [email protected]

If you have ever looked at a building and known which questions to ask first, your experience could help us.

Briana’s House is our plan for a non-medical respite home on Long Island for families facing childhood cancer. We want to create a welcoming place for short stays, with private family space and shared areas where children and parents can enjoy time together.

There is a lot of practical thinking between that vision and a home that can welcome families. As we continue the search for land or a suitable property, we would value early conversations with people who understand the decisions ahead.

Architects and people experienced in accessibility could help us identify questions about layout, circulation and family comfort. Construction professionals could help us think through building condition, the scope of possible work and the information needed before costs can be assessed. Real estate and property-planning professionals could help us understand what to investigate when considering a site.

At this stage, we’re asking for guidance: an initial conversation, help identifying a next step, or an introduction to the right professional. If you are able to volunteer some expertise, please tell us what you know and what time you can realistically offer.

Email [email protected] with your area of experience and how you would like to help. We can begin with a conversation about where that experience fits.

You may know someone who can help us find the place Briana’s House belongs. A property owner. A local real estate professional. Someone who knows of land or a building worth a conversation.

We’re seeking introductions on Long Island, with the East End central to our vision for a future non-medical respite home for families facing childhood cancer.

The purpose of that home is very specific: short stays where families can rest and spend time together outside the hospital environment. Our vision includes private family spaces and shared areas for everyday moments, with stays offered at no cost to families.

Before that can happen, we need to understand what properties might be suitable. A promising lead is the beginning of a conversation. Questions about permitted use, accessibility, site conditions and the work a building might need would all require careful review with qualified professionals.

If you know an owner who might be willing to discuss a property donation, a real estate professional with relevant knowledge, or a community contact who could point us in the right direction, we would welcome an introduction. You do not need to have every answer before reaching out.

Please introduce us by email at [email protected]. A general location, a brief explanation of the connection and the person’s permission to be contacted are a helpful starting point. Keep exact addresses and personal contact information out of public comments.

A half-finished puzzle on the table. A child asking for one more story before bed. Those small moments are part of what we want Briana’s House to make room for.

When childhood cancer fills the calendar with appointments and travel, ordinary family time can become hard to find. We’re working toward a place on Long Island where families can take a short break from the hospital environment and spend time together in a home that feels welcoming.

Briana’s House is named in honor of Briana Harper Dolomite. Through The Strong and Brave Foundation, we want to carry her memory into something families can experience: privacy when they need quiet, shared spaces when they want company, and room for children to play and create.

Our vision includes private family suites, communal gathering areas and spaces for recreation. The goal is to offer these short stays at no cost to families. This is a planned non-medical respite home, and we’re still working to make it a reality.

Right now, that work includes finding land or a suitable property and connecting with people who can help us plan it thoughtfully. The details of the home should start with the people it is meant to welcome.

What is one small thing that would help your family feel at home in an unfamiliar place? We’d love to hear your idea.

Happy Grandparents Day đź’›

The extra hug. The familiar story. The phone call just to check in. Grandparents have a way of making ordinary moments feel safe and special.

From all of us at The Strong and Brave Foundation and Briana’s House, thank you for showing up—especially when life gets hard.

To grandparents missing a grandchild, and families missing a grandparent, we’re holding you close today. That love will always be part of your family’s story.
