We were thrilled to welcome guests to a cozy, welcoming space with hot coffee, warm smiles, and plenty of good food. A special shoutout to our Board Treasurer, Thomas Hudson, for joining in and helping make the morning extra special with his time and care.

We’re especially thankful to Lou’s Bakery for donating a dozen of their legendary cruller donuts — they were a huge hit with our guests!

🌼 Look what we found in the garden today… a surprise painted rock tucked between the flowers! 🎨💛

These little treasures always brighten our day — and remind us of the kindness and creativity that passes through Maynard House.

Even more special? We added a new rock of our own, painted by a former guest who wanted to leave a little joy behind for the next family who visits.

Our rock garden is growing — one story, one brushstroke, one kind heart at a time. 🪨💖

Next time you’re here, see if you can find the newest one! Or bring your own to add to the collection. 🌈✨

🌅 **Good Morning from Maynard House!** 🌿✨

The early sun is spilling over our garden today, and it’s a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do. Every flower, every ray of light, and every peaceful bench offers comfort to patients and families who call Maynard House “home” during some of their most challenging days.

💙 **You can help keep this haven blooming**—whether by volunteering your time, making a donation, or simply sharing our mission with others. Together, we make sure no one has to face medical treatment without a safe, supportive place to rest.

📸 *Pictured: Our garden this morning, a peaceful start to another day of caring for our guests.*
