She spent a month at CHaD, and her parents stayed at David’s House. “Dick just wanted families to be together when it mattered most,” Olmstead said. Sometimes, David’s House is a gathering place for extended families when it’s time to say goodbye to a little one. After David died, his father found his son’s treasure trove, and that $300.78 was the first deposit into a fund to create the nonprofit organization that became David’s House. David Cyr’s battle with leukemia inspired his family to create David’s House at Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth. When the hospital’s pediatric services moved from Hanover to Lebanon in 1991, the Board of Directors of David’s House decided to launch a capital campaign to build a new home on land that the Medical Center agreed to lease for $1 per year.

It says eight IDF soldiers and one Border Force officer have been lightly or moderately injured in fighting. An ambulance driver was killed by Israeli settlers as he tried to transport Palestinians who had been attacked by settlers in the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health and an aid organization. The aid will directly correlate to the increasing number of Palestinian casualties, said the spokesperson, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, according to a statement published by the Palestinian official news agency WAFA.

Republicans lost the House in 2018 because they were beaten in districts once held by George H. W. Bush, Newt Gingrich, and Eric Cantor. They lost the presidency in 2020 in great part because their vote eroded among suburban white men. They lost the Senate in 2021 because Trump fatigue cost them two seats in Georgia. They lost Senate seats and governorships in 2022 because they put forward Trump-branded candidates such as Blake Masters and Kari Lake in Arizona and Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania. Even after January 6, 2021, Senate Republicans protected him from conviction at his impeachment trial. After Trump left office, party leaders still indulged his fantasy that he had “really” won the 2020 election.

For one family from Spofford, “It’s really been our home away from home for 25 and a half years,” said Robin (she didn’t want her last name used). Her 26-year-old daughter, Natalie, has a rare genetic disease that causes serious medical issues, including cerebral palsy, and they often have to be at the medical center for appointments. David’s House is a refuge for families whose children are receiving care at Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth.

Caden was also a member of the School of Rock house band and in 2020, he was chosen as a School of Rock All-Star.Caden will be attending Berklee School of Music in Boston this fall. Over the years, more than 16,000 families have stayed overnight at David’s House, free of charge, while their children were receiving care at Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock. Dick Cyr realized his dream and kept a promise to his son when he created David's House, a place where families can stay free of charge while children are receiving medical care at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. Shafik told US Rep. Lisa McClain she is "pretty sure" that the rest of the university's task force combatting antisemitism would agree with that definition.

In the bright living room, white wooden beams adorn the pitched ceiling, which features a cupola that adds an extra dose of sunlight to the space. Additional skylights are found in the Tuscan-inspired kitchen, which has a wooden island, a butler’s pantry, and sandy-hued tiles on the counter and backsplash. The adjacent dining room is decorated with textured light gold walls, white wainscoting, and a shaded chandelier with matching sconces.

“He knew the right people were in the right place, and it was the right time for him,” she said. “We hear that every day, that David’s House is truly life-saving and life-changing for families,” she said. The Murrays met and bonded with other families who were going through a similar ordeal, he said. ”We were able to bounce off each other if you had a rough day,” he said. Her dad, Mike Murray of Tilton, said his wife, Stephanie, had an emergency C-section and had to stay in the hospital, but he rushed to CHaD to be with their firstborn daughter. “For these families, they were not planning their trip to the hospital, so they have nothing with them,” she said.

There are two adjoining kitchens at David’s House for guests to share. We provide some pantry items, breakfast foods, and snacks, as well as meals prepared by volunteers many nights of the week. Yes, please ask them to include your name and your child’s name on any correspondence.

"Instead, he is making up excuse after excuse to avoid facing me directly." "Dade Phelan has dodged every debate and public forum since the beginning of this race because he cannot defend his embarrassing record on border security,” Covey said in a statement Thursday. The expected vote is the total number of votes that are expected in a given race once all votes are counted. This number is an estimate and is based on several different factors, including information on the number of votes cast early as well as information provided to our vote reporters on Election Day from county election officials.

On Saturday, the aid-to-Ukraine measure passed the House 311–112. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the Senate will adopt the House-approved aid measures unamended and speed them to President Biden for signature. “The US Congress just overwhelmingly passed a much appreciated aid bill that demonstrates strong bipartisan support for Israel and defends Western civilization. These lodging facilities have expressed a willingness to offer special discounted room rates, when available, to assist in meeting the needs of patients and visitors who wish to stay close to the medical center.

Being a rural area, it is necessary to call ahead for taxi services as it is common to have long wait times. To accommodate those traveling far distances, we have developed the Rest Easy Program to provide basic information on local lodging facilities within 15 miles of Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC). Cyr liked to say that David’s House “always had the right people in the right place at the right time,” Olmstead said.

To the extent any donations are processed through a third-party service provider, our donors’ information will only be used for purposes necessary to process the donation. This policy applies to all information received by David’s House, both online and offline, on any Platform (“Platform”, includes the David’s House website and mobile applications), as well as any electronic, written, or oral communications. Due to lack of space and our need to have easy access to each patient's bed and equipment, only one parent can stay overnight. David's House also offers services for families who need a break during the day to wash clothes, have a snack, or relax.

A voluntary donation of $20 a night is suggested, but only 40 percent of families can afford to pay, and no one is turned away due to lack of funds. The response offered a stark contrast to the lawyerly answers that university presidents provided during the December hearing before the same committee. That moment went viral, sparking an uproar that eventually contributed to the ousters of the presidents of Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici asked Columbia President Minouche Shafik, board co-chairs David Greenwald and Claire Shipman and David Schizer, co-chair of a task force on antisemitism, for a simple yes or no response. All four said “yes,” calls for the genocide of Jews would violate Columbia’s code of conduct.

Since January 20th, 1986, over 16,000 families from 42 states, 2 US territories, and 30 countries have called David’s House their home-away-from-home. Countless others have used the house on a day-guest basis–for a shower, a nap, a meal, or any other service we provide apart from an overnight room. Dick met frustrated, exhausted parents and dealt with David’s illness the best he knew how; for his part, David helped. In and out of the hospital, Dick told us, David never lost his love of life or his ability to brighten the days of those he met.
