A Home Is Where Healing Begins

Creating Home for Children with Cancer

There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from fighting for your child's life in a city that isn't yours — sleeping in waiting rooms, stretching a budget that was never built for this, driving back and forth from a hospital because there's nowhere close enough to stay. Megan's Wings exists for the families who are living that exhaustion right now.

We believe a family shouldn't have to choose between being near their child's treatment and having a place that feels like home. So we go directly to the people who can change that: owners of non-owner-occupied properties, and anyone hosting on platforms like Airbnb who has space sitting empty. When you donate that space to a family in treatment, you're not just filling a calendar gap — you're giving a parent one less thing to carry during the hardest season of their life. In return, you receive a tax write-off equal to what you would have earned renting the space, so generosity here costs you nothing but a phone call.

This is the kind of giving that doesn't ask you to write a check and walk away. It asks you to open a door. And for a child who is fighting to get better, an open door — a real bed, a kitchen table, a place to simply be a kid between hospital visits — can be its own form of medicine.

If you own a property that sits vacant between guests, or you know someone who does, we'd be grateful for five minutes of your time. Reach out to Jessica Heredia directly. She'll walk you through exactly how it works, what the write-off looks like, and how quickly your space could be changing a family's story.
