Aashray Charities Inc

Each year, over 3 million children are hospitalized in the United States. Yet nearly three-quarters of families end up sleeping in hospital rooms, sacrificing rest, income, and well-being to stay close to their child. At Aashray Charities Inc, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are committed to changing that narrative. Through strategic partnerships with extended-stay and apartment-style hotels, we provide complimentary lodging to families whose children are receiving medical care away from the comforts of home. These accommodations offer essential amenities, such as en-suite kitchens and laundry access. Other amenities like fitness rooms and pools help burn off extra stress and help create a peaceful environment where families can decompress and focus on what matters most: their child’s recovery. We currently operate across two states through collaborations with leading hospitals and hospitality providers. In New Brunswick, New Jersey, we have partnered with Bristol Myers Squibb Children's Hospital and The Children's Hospital at Saint Peter's University Hospital. Our lodging partner in the region is Home2 Suites New Brunswick. In Pennsylvania, we’ve expanded our reach through a partnership with The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Families receiving care at CHOP are supported through our hotel partners: Residence Inn Philadelphia Center City and The Windsor Suites. In its early phase, Aashray Charities has already supported 6 families, saving them over in lodging costs. Thus, laying the foundation for a rapidly expanding program. Key Metrics: 100% of families surveyed reported: • Extreme improvement in their engagement as active participants in their child’s treatment • Feeling either very or extremely better cared for. • Extreme improvements in their productivity. • Feeling more united • Increased time with their child. Aashray Charities is redefining community support and family centered care, one room, one night, one family at a time!
