Merida Bourjolly
Merida stayed at Gift of Life Howie’s House for two months while she was recovering from kidney transplant surgery.
“I checked in, they greet you and make you feel at home. The environment is very loving and very caring. Financially we did not feel it in our pockets because the price you have to pay to stay there is a lot less than staying at a hotel.”
She was grateful for the access to affordable lodging while being away from home.
