About Believe In Tomorrow Children’s Foundation

The Believe In Tomorrow Children’s Foundation is a national leader in providing exceptional housing services to critically ill children and their families. Whether seeking overnight housing while a child receives treatment at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, or a weeklong retreat in one of seven beach and mountain respite homes, Believe In Tomorrow’s programs work hand in hand as a support system when families need it most. Each Hands On Adventure acts as an extension of the respite housing program to provide children unique opportunities nationwide, encouraging them to look past their illnesses toward the promise of tomorrow.
