Casey’s Place & Casey’s Place Too

 

 

The Casey’s Place Apartments

With the help of our many supporters over the last 12 years and a joint venture with the Larry D. Bond’s Foundation 4Life, the Casey Ann Hohman Memorial Association has been able to open its third apartment for out-of-town patients and their families in need of temporary housing. The newly renovated fully furnished one bedroom apartments with TV and internet are close to the hospital. These apartments not only relieve some of the financial pressure, but they also allow the tenants a place to have a normal life if only for a few hours.

Casey’s Place opened in August of 2007; Casey’s Place Too opened in September of 2008.  Both are open to out-of-area pre- and post- transplant heart transplant patients. Our newest addition, the Tom Quertermous Suite at Casey’s Place, is a joint venture with the Larry D. Bonds Foundation 4Life and opened in June of 2014. This apartment is open not only to heart patients but also to all out-of-area pre- and post- live organ transplant classifications.

The apartments are possible because of the funds raised at our annual trivia night, donations, grants, individuals, companies and like- minded foundations. Our tenants have helped as well with donations and fundraisers from their home communities.

The need for patient out-of-area housing is ever growing, and the Casey Ann Hohman Memorial Association goal is to meet that challenge. While our fundraising efforts and corporate sponsorships continue to grow, we still need to reach out to the community as well as our friends and neighbors for support.

Several years ago we launched an effort to enlist companies and individuals to support a family by donating for either a week ($150.00) or a month’s rent for ($600.00).  We can also manage and furnish an apartment in either a loved one’s name or donor’s name for as little as $7,500.00 a year.

Consider us part of your annual charity donations; please get a table of friends and family together for our annual trivia night, October 11th, 2014, and help us meet the need.
