What does 25 years of Kathy’s House sound like?
In the latest episode of Conversations with Kathy’s House, we look back at where it all began and how one family’s response to the loss of Kathy Vogel Kuettner grew into a home for thousands of patients and caregivers traveling to Milwaukee for medical care.

Recorded during our 25th anniversary celebration, the episode features voices from Kathy’s family, longtime friends, and former guests, each sharing a piece of the Kathy’s House story.

Whether you joined us for the celebration or couldn’t be there, we invite you to listen.

For many guests, especially caregivers, time at Kathy's House includes long hours of waiting between appointments and hospital visits. Many spend that time crafting, whether it's knitting, crocheting, dot painting, or quilting.

For guest Laura Davister, quilting was the creative outlet of choice. When Laura and her husband, Clarence, recently returned to Kathy's House, she brought along this beautiful finished quilt as a donation for an upcoming fundraiser.

It means so much when our guests choose to give back in such a personal way. Thank you, Laura, for sharing your talent and generosity with the Kathy's House community!
