The Escoto Family Story

Jill’s House gave us something we’d never had before: rest and trust. For the first time, I knew Elena was completely safe and surrounded by people who celebrated her, who saw her light. I could finally exhale.

The Tatikonda Family Story

Jill’s House has given Esha new experiences and confidence, and it’s given our family peace and rest. When we pick her up, she comes out with a big happy smile every time. That smile says everything.

The Vargas-Portocarrero Family Story

The Jill’s House adult program is a dream come true. Ricardo is welcomed, engaged one-on-on, and growing in independence. When I drop Ricardo off, I feel complete peace. That is no small gift.

The Schutz Family

When our family wondered where we belonged, Jill’s House welcomed us with open arms. They didn’t overlook our differences or try to smooth them away. They said, because of your differences, because of your unique needs, you belong here.

The Pietrini Family

What Joe and I value most are the incredible opportunities Carmine gets at Jill’s House. It's not just about the respite for us as parents (though that's definitely appreciated!); it's about watching Carmine thrive.

The Mickles-Bass Family

JoJo and I had never been separated until he started going to Jill’s House. As a single mom, I’ve always been protective. But from the moment JoJo walked in, I saw the way the staff welcomed him like royalty.

The Fisher Family

There’s nothing like knowing your child is safe, happy, and celebrated while you get the chance to recharge. The team at Jill’s House goes above and beyond, and they truly care. It’s not just respite; it’s a community—a lifeline.

The Ditcharo Family

If you’re a parent of a child with special needs and you’re on the fence about Jill’s House, we can’t recommend it enough. Respite is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Our kids need it, and we, as parents, need it.

The Hart Family

We were so thrilled when we heard about Jill’s House. Suddenly we had this community of people who understood our boys and connected with us as a family. The staff understood their needs. Nothing about our boys was new or different to them.

The Haynes Family

We are so grateful for everyone at Jill’s House Rocky Top Camp. You can see their hearts and how much they love our kids. Allowing Beck the space for him to build relationships is incredible. Everything about Jill’s House is just incredible.

The Dickerson Family

Joshua enjoys his time at Jill’s House! He sees familiar faces, and they know him well. It’s really nice to be known! Jill’s House is a tremendous blessing for our entire family!

The Card Family

Jill’s House is more than just a place; it’s a safe, nurturing, and comforting sanctuary that blesses our entire family. It’s a rare and invaluable resource that we don’t take for granted.
