    Children's Inn At NIH

    The Children's Inn at NIH is an amazing place. They provide lodging for children, and their…read morefamilies, who are being treated at NIH. It is a warm and attractive facility. As they say on their website "While the NIH takes care of the child's medical needs, The Inn tends to the child's heart, soul and spirit." When you enter the building it looks like you have entered an upscale ski lodge. There is a reception desk to the left, but straight ahead is a sitting area with plush couches and a fireplace. As part of a service organization that provides Sunday dinners 3 times a year, I have only been in the public areas. They have recently added new kitchens, done other renovations, and built a new outdoor play area. Each family has their own private room. There are various public rooms such as a computer area, a quiet room, and dining areas, etc. Our group prepares a meal in a double kitchen equipped with 4 stoves, microwaves, sinks, small appliances, and kitchen equipment. There is a pantry with paper products and non-perishable items. Each family has a personal refrigerator for their own use and there is a common refrigerator for anyone to take advantage of. Volunteer groups can leave leftovers in the common refrigerators for residents to use. Behind the kitchen area we work in is a laundry room with a number of washers and dryers. Staff and volunteers provide a large number of diversions and activities for the families. One night there was a high school choral group; another time someone was organizing board games; and another night an outgoing man was setting up a bocce ball set for after dinner entertainment. Each child apparently has a mail box where small "treats" are provided. There are many ways to contribute to this amazing organization with donations of time, of money, or in kind. When I am at the Inn I feel sad for the children and their families, but I am thankful for them that they have the Inn and that they are getting treatment at such a remarkable, caring facility as the National Institutes of Health.

We were so grateful for all the help they offered us while we were there on our first visit. My girls love coming "home" to the children's inn. There is so much to do there--the staff always has movies available for kids and lots of fun activities planned. They even have a sweet therapy dog for the kids to love. . There is nothing you need to bring when you stay here besides your pillows and clothes. My girls always ask when we get to go back to see the amazing doctors there and stay at the Childrens inn. So blessed to have had this experience.

    There are quite literally not enough words to describe how much we love and appreciate every aspect…read moreof this center. When you are looking for a center, if the administrative staff is beyond communicative, if teachers love your child as they love their own, and if the energy that seeps forth boasts of creativity and engagement at all times, you know you've found the perfect place, and that place is Rock Spring Children's Center. It's hard enough knowing that you have to leave your child over the course of a day, but to know that you have the best care possible for your child during the day helps alleviate so much of that stress. The Center does not just say they love children, what they want to do to improve or how the work aligns with the mission, but they show EACH of these things, with intention, every single day. And while I'm talking about the overall feel and experience of the center, there are so many additions that really take it to the next level. The offerings of ballet, karate, an amazing plyometrics program, and music, all of it offered from phenomenal external entities as a formal class that help keep your weekends, a little more open. And for more ease, if you struggle to pack lunch every day, a catered lunch option is available. There is differentiated instruction that allows for all students to feel safe and seen. And did I mention the engagement and love of teachers, and administration? The list goes on. TLDR: There will never be a center as phenomenal as Rock Spring Children's Center!

Most teachers have been here for years which says a lot about the culture of this institution. Classrooms are beautiful, and tailored perfectly for each age group. We will forever be grateful to Rock Spring for taking such good care of our kids.

    I am so pleased to have met and know some of the amazing people that work at this organization…read more Bethesda Cares mission is to prevent, end, and ease homelessness. When searching for a non profit in the area to try and help support- I thought to the most basic needs of a human's life. Shelter, Water, Food. Nobody should be without a home. And Bethesda Cares feels the same way. Not only do they offer lunches throughout the week, they provide shower facilities, daytime shelter, and mail services. To prevent those from becoming homeless, they work with people who are in apartments but are in danger of having their utilities shut off, or people who are possibly facing eviction. They are truly angels - and contrary to the name- Bethesda Cares serves those through the county. There are more than 800 chronically homeless citizens. Some with mental and physical health issues. As a community of millions, we should be able to ban together to help Bethesda Cares in it's mission and end homelessness in the region. I will continue to help them whenever I can, and I hope that these amazing people are blessed in each and every part of their lives.

    Bethesda Cares is the best non profit organization in the County. The dedicated small staff there,…read moreand particularly the Executive Director, Susan Kirk, work tirelessly to ensure every homeless county resident can get into housing. Their belief that people need housing as a base for getting stabilized, is well grounded in research. Bethesda Cares works on a small budget, and they keep costs down, so 95% of donated dollars go directly into housing people. They are dependent on donations, and are appreciative of every dollar donors give to them.
