Social workers at Baylor Scott & White refer patients to Amy’s House, but patients can also request rooms without a referral. Amy’s House depends on donations and grants for operating funds. Although our standard requested donation is $50 a night per room, we realize that the cost of medical care can create financial difficulties for our guests. Transplant social workers and the staff at Amy’s House work with families to determine an affordable solution for their situation. TRIO applies for grants and appeals to the public for operating funds to underwrite the cost of needy families’ stays. Any donation made to Amy’s House is used exclusively to meet the needs of our guests.
