We are excited to announce that three weeks from today, Decemeber 13th Rasta Rootz will be hosting our annual toy drive drop off for The Boston House. We will be at the store from 10am-2pm collecting upwrapped toys for kids of all ages.
For those that don’t know since 1979, The Boston House: Hope and Healing for Children with Cancer has served as a home away from home for children with cancer and other life-threatening hematological diseases and their families. As an essential part of their overall care, The House provides its guests with no-cost and convenient accommodations in a safe and comfortable home-like setting. Here, children, families, and caregivers find comfort and support among staff, volunteers, and other families facing the life-changing realities of childhood cancer.
Our House, conveniently located on Kent Street in Brookline, is within walking distance of Boston Children’s Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Jimmy Fund Clinic. The House can accommodate up to 22 families each night. The Main House has nine bedrooms that will accommodate up to four people with shared bathrooms and common areas, including access to a fully equipped kitchen.
For families with a child recovering from a bone marrow transplant, they have 13 studio apartments with individual bathrooms and kitchenettes. All families have access to free laundry, on site and amenities such as Wi-Fi, a playroom and playground, free parking for one car and periodic dinners provided by volunteers.
Rasta Rootz has had the privilege over the last 4 years to be a friend of The Boston House. We are so excited to see our cannabis community come show support by dropping off a toy or two, and bring a smile to families away from home this holiday season. 🎗️🎅🏿🎁💚💛❤️🦁
