For families & caregivers
A little support.
A little more room to stay.
Sweet Journey 17 helps with meals, a place to stay, transportation, and everyday essentials during an extended pediatric hospital stay. Support begins with your hospital care team.
How it works
Let’s take the
first step together.
Talk
Tell your hospital social worker or case manager that an everyday cost is making it harder to stay close to your child.
Refer
With your knowledge and authorization, they send us a short referral. You don’t need to fill out anything.
Review
We review the need, available resources, and current program guidelines respectfully.
Support
If approved and resources are available, assistance is coordinated directly or through a provider.
A few things to know
- Support is subject to current guidelines and available resources.
- A referral does not guarantee assistance.
- Your care team does not share diagnoses or medical records with us, only the practical help that would make a difference.
For hospital care teams
Referring a family?
Hospital social workers, case managers, and care-team professionals can send a referral with the family’s knowledge and authorization.
