Notes from our clients…

“Thank you for serving lunch to us while we faced a long day of chemo. A friendly face and a good sandwich made the afternoon so much easier to face."

Patient from Fort Stockton

“We shall be forever grateful for the service that Hope House has provided. We could not have driven home every day and the beds were even good.”

Patient from Terlingua

“We needed a wheel chair for my husband and West Texas Gifts of Hope delivered it to our door. God Bless you.”

Patient from Odessa

Hope House Odessa serves cancer patients undergoing treatments who live afar. Al had radiation treatments 5 days a week for 8 weeks and it would have been very difficult for us to drive back and forth every day during this time as we live 150 miles from Odessa.

Hope House provides clean, comfortable living quarters with a staff that is professional, caring and helpful.

The staff - paid,volunteers and the Board of Directors of Hope House are totally dedicated to serving God by providing this great service for cancer patients and they are committed to making your stay comfortable and as stress free as possible.

Thank you Hope House - you are a true blessing for making our ordeal actually pleasant by your provision for us and so many other cancer patients.
