"These homes are so important because we’re filling a need that is not there," said Home Together founder Molly Landreth.Home Together, formerly Maple Leaf Foundation, works directly with Maple Leaf Real Estate and Seattle Children's Hospital to create affordable and nurturing, child-centered housing families, according to the nonprofit’s website.The homes are considered a lifeline for families whose children are receiving long-term pediatric cancer and cardiac care.
"The home was amazing," said Talia Miller. "It was a place to rest your head and cook meals. It was a place where we created memories with our daughter Sienna." Miller, along with her husband Max Anderson, volunteer and work closely with Home Together. They were on hand Sunday helping move furniture.The couple’s daughter passed due to complications from acute myeloid leukemia.
"She was diagnosed in July 2022, and she went through three rounds of chemo and a bone marrow transplant," said Miller."We had Christmas morning in the house," said Max Anderson. "While she’s gone, those are memories we are going to be able to keep forever. They’re not memories of us doing that in a hospital, they’re memories of us in a house.""There’s a real need for families and waiting lists for housing are long," said Landreth.
The partnership allows families to go month-to-month with them paying a fraction of rent. It also includes utilities, internet connection and yard upkeep.
