If These Walls Could Talk

The Nest

Opened in March 2021

The Nest was our first 3-bedroom, 2-bath apartment situated in the corner overlooking one of the playgrounds at Stone Creek Village. The location is ideal. This amazing apartment was made possible through a generous anonymous donation made to the Yellow Door Foundation at the end of 2020.

The Nest opened its doors to its first family in April 2021. This larger apartment is perfect for families that travel to Charlottesville with siblings and grandparents that come to assist families during treatment. The Nest will give larger families more space to spread out while they heal together.

Current Resident

Hazen

We welcomed six-year-old Hazen and his mom, Stacy, to The Welcoming Nest in December 2023. Hazen is in his favorite spot nestled on the cozy couch. He loves his new Nintendo Switch, which was gifted to him by previous Nest resident, Helena.

Hazen has Rhabdomyosarcoma, which is a rare type of cancer that forms in soft tissue. He is in his 10th week of treatments. Mom shares, “Hazen has a large mass in his stomach near his organs and it’s wrapped around a couple major blood vessels.”

Evan’s mom is staying nearby at The Nest during the week as Evan continues to require acute care at the hospital. He is one of eight children, so dad is home taking care of Evan’s siblings with visits to Charlottesville on weekends.
