Episode 29: Through Their Little Eyes: Kids and Kathy's House

December 15, 2025 • Gerry Steele is a Kathy’s House ally and healthcare communication professional. For more than a decade, she's had the privilege to share the experiences of individuals going through life-changing medical journeys and learn from their courage and wisdom.

Did you know that children find comfort at Kathy’s House? A family doesn’t stop “being” just because parents are away seeking life-saving care. In fact, the love of a child is a beautiful source of social and emotional support during such challenging times, making Kathy’s House an essential haven for families.

I recently had the joy of chatting with Jessi and Anthony, along with their four wonderful children 💖

Kathy’s House is the Milwaukee area’s only hospital guest house that accommodates guests of any age receiving care at any area hospital. More than 75% of our guests cannot afford the full cost of their stay at Kathy’s House – and no one is turned away for inability to pay.

Your gift to Kathy’s House allows families to access not only the extraordinary care available at area hospitals, but also the resources and caring support they need during an extraordinary time.

If you have questions about how your gift directly benefits patients and guests facing a serious medical crisis, please email President & CEO Kim Lamansky.
