During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Every day in the United States more than 565,000 children are living life-limiting, chronic conditions, and 5,000 of them are within the last 6 months of their lives. More than 53,000 children die in this country annually - over 80% in hospitals. These families experience financial, relational and emotional impact of such prolonged hospital stays.
Currently, there are only three children’s palliative care homes in the US. Ladybug House seeks to build Washington’s first family-centered palliative care home to provide quality respite and palliative care to children and young adults with life-limiting illnesses in a homelike setting full of life, love and respect that will ultimately improve the quality of life of the patient, and their families. We will celebrate every day, every moment, and every life.

Ladybug House is a grassroots organization working to build Washington's first free standing, community based palliative care home with end-of-life support for children, adolescents and young adults with life limiting illnesses in Seattle. Ladybug House seeks to support families and loved ones, providing rest and rejuvenation for caregivers in a respectful, loving atmosphere. We hope to bring the comfort of home to a medical setting that also meets the emotional, spiritual, and psychosocial needs of each family. If needed, Ladybug House will bridge the gap between home and hospital, offering a place of solace for hospice care.
We'll work with your schedule.
