"Religion is a very important part of our recovery. Throughout our stay at the Walsh Family Village, we felt the presence of god-it was like he is continually opening doors and showing us a path."

My wife Sherry was diagnosed wtih leukemia in February and received a bone marrow transplant in July. For the past few months she's been receiving treatments and working on getting stronger. The doctors told me that being with Sherry would be beneficial to her treatment, but I was concerned about our living situation since we live over two hours away. We were told about the Walsh Family Village and were put in contact with social workers to begin the eligibility process. I can honestly say that it's been absolutely wonderful having a home-like atmosphere, yet still be able to walk to the clinic for treatments. The staff is so caring, and we appreciate having other people in similar situations to talk and socialize with. It's also great having a kitchen, laundry facilities and convenient campus location wihtin walking distance so we can save money. We are so appreciative of the Walsh Family Village and being able to stay together as a family during this time.
