We're not here to follow trends—we're here to build something timeless.

Beside Still Waters is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that contributes to our community by helping medically fragile children and their families by providing direct patient and family support in the form of a respite home.

It is the first of it’s kind in the state of South Carolina - and joins less than 10 homes in the United States. Here we will provide respite and / or end of life care outside of the walls of a hospital or the family home - but in an environment filled with warmth, compassion and peace when children with life-limiting illnesses and their families are at their most vulnerable.

This gap leaves families without critical respite support, contributes to caregiver burnout, and increases reliance on high-cost hospital care at end of life. Establishing a pediatric hospice and respite home would address a significant unmet need, improve quality of life for children and families, and align South Carolina with national best practices in pediatric palliative care.
