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.
