I met Marc, Aptiva, and The Side House Foundation a few years ago—about a year after my son Kalvin was in a terrible car accident that left him with a massive traumatic brain injury. From the moment they stepped into our lives, Marc and his team became the quarterbacks of Kalvin’s recovery. Their expertise, guidance, and unwavering advocacy were truly invaluable.   Then, last year, when Kalvin needed stem cell treatment, Marc and The Side House Foundation once again took the reins. In just six short weeks, they raised the funds needed so Kalvin could begin his treatment—something I could never have accomplished on my own.   Marc always tells me that Kalvin is his hero. Well, Marc… you and everyone at The Side House Foundation are mine.   Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

The Side House Foundation has been a true blessing. In partnership with Aptiva Care Management, they have continuously supported my son Chris through his courageous battle with ALS. From promoting a GoFundMe campaign to help cover caregiving costs — our biggest out-of-pocket expense—to providing essential equipment and daily supplies for Chris and his caregivers, their assistance has been invaluable. They have also offered counseling to guide us through the challenges of this devastating disease. We are profoundly thankful for the unwavering support The Side House Foundation has provided over the past year.

My husband Bob, a Korean War veteran and skilled contractor, faced a devastating diagnosis of lung cancer this past year. The Side House Foundation, with support from Aptiva Care Management, provided invaluable assistance throughout his journey. Their help included counseling, medical care, essential equipment, and supplies that supported Bob and our family from his diagnosis to his final days. We are deeply grateful for their compassion and unwavering care during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you, Side House Foundation, for making a difference when we needed it most.

The Side House Foundation has been a true blessing to my husband Jason, our three children, and me as we faced his devastating diagnosis of terminal brain cancer. In partnership with Aptiva Care Management, the foundation provided invaluable support during Jason’s final six months. They assisted with essential items, home modifications, medical equipment, caregiving services, and transportation, allowing Jason to spend his final days at home surrounded by family. We are deeply grateful for everything they did to make this possible. A heartfelt thank you to The Side House Foundation.
