Below are a few examples of the feedback our Kansas City Hope Lodge has received from guests and volunteers.

"The Hope Lodge is a wonderful place; a home away from home. The employees are fantastic - they are all loving and caring people, full of support. It is a clean, home-like environment. I would recommend it to anyone that has to stay in the area for treatments, appointments, surgery, etc. Thank you for all your love and support during my stay in Kansas City during my treatments. I love coming back to the Lodge and seeing all of you and being able to spend some time with you."

–Sue Affolter

"We have precious memories of the time we spend at Hope Lodge. You were the greatest."

–George & Pat Hecker

"Thanks for being here...we don't know how we'd make it through this without you."

–Jan & Dave Drews

"Thank you for all the help and support that you supply. Your efforts are a true reflection of the Christmas spirit and remain an important part of my recovery and continued good health."

–John M. Ashline

"When we call the Lodge with our arrival date, we're guaranteed a room when we get there, which is a huge relief. Plus, since the Lodge is a clean, sterile environment, no one is confined to their room. It’s a beautiful place, it really is. Everyone at the Hope Lodge is going through the same thing – they understand – it’s a very strong support system. We’ve met many outstanding people and made new friends. I don’t think we could’ve received better treatment or gotten more from any other place. It truly is a home away from home."

– Janette & Brian Anderson

"The personnel at Hope Lodge are truly caring people. They don't hesitate to do whatever it takes to make your stay with them a pleasant one. Hope Lodge is like an extended family. My husband and I were amazed at the Lodge's facilities – they have everything you need to make your stay there a comfortable one. The people there, their smiles and upbeat attitudes, will be remembered forever. When you combine the facilities and the people working at Hope Lodge, you come up with something few people get to experience. God Bless you all and thank you for your help and the use of the Lodge."

– Mary Lue & Larry Potthast

"There are many great things about the Hope Lodge. We enjoy the friends we've made, especially the people that help with the food. The laundry facilities are very handy, almost like you're home."

– Alice Schlovohm

"The people at the Hope Lodge are awesome. It's like an extended family. We organize meals, games, and events for birthdays. My daughter's brownie troup even made Valentines to hand on the guests' doors. Everyone gets involved."

– Dawn Boedeker, volunteer
