Everyone deserves care, dignity, peace, and compassion.
Greetings and thank you for your generosity this year! We’ve been hard at work this past year enriching the quality of life and creating cherished memories for the children and families we serve while providing a much- needed break from 24/7 caregiving, as they navigate life-limiting or end-of-life journeys. Ryan House simply would not be what it is today if it weren’t for your support. It’s because of you that we can continue to provide a loving community where children can truly be themselves and live their lives to the fullest in a safe, homelike environment. Inside this year’s annual report, you’ll see the direct impact that your support has made this past year which enabled us to enroll 294 children and families in our respite program and provide 27,792 hours of respite care to 101 children with life limiting conditions and support 54 children and their families at end-of-life. You’ll also learn more about longtime Ryan House supporter, Sequoia, an innovative, people first benefit provider that has been supporting Ryan House since 2018. They have contributed volunteer hours, direct financial support, and collected hundreds of items from our wish list. The collective efforts of our partnership with Hospice of the Valley, our loving, compassionate, and caring staff, dedicated volunteers, committed leadership team, and diverse Board of Directors and committee members work together to strengthen and inspire the children and families we support which greatly contributes to Ryan House’s ability to effectively steward the support they receive from you. We believe that everyone deserves care, dignity, peace, and compassion, especially as they face the unimaginable challenges of a life-limiting condition and that is why your continued support is so critical and so very appreciated! For that and so much more, we thank you.

Respite Care Respite care is a gift of time; short-term overnight stays that help a family take breaks from the stress of 24/7 home care.
Palliative Care Palliative care aims to holistically identify and alleviate the physical, psychosocial, spiritual, and emotional pain for both the child and the family, enhance quality of life and minimize suffering. Pediatric End-of-Life Care Families with a child facing end-of-life receive supportive planning and compassionate care consistent with clinical, cultural, and ethical standards. Grief and Bereavement Support We offer Sibling Bridges of Support and Hope, family counseling through various programs, a memorial wall, an annual community event to honor children who have died, and Treasured Memories boxes to families that are filled with special keepsakes. Life-Enhancing Therapeutic Activities Certified child life specialist, certified music therapist and trained volunteers provide activities that address the isolation, pain, and fear children and siblings face with diagnosis and improve quality of life.

Sequoia’s Deep Commitment to Social Impact
Relationships are the cornerstone of living a full life. At Ryan House, we witness this every day with the children and families we serve. In fact, we’re often told that many of their most cherished memories come from the people they meet at Ryan House and the bonds they form during their stays. Ryan House is grateful to share these values not just with the families we serve but also with many of our community supporters, including Sequoia Consulting Group, an organization that has given an abundance of time and resources over the years. Sequoia, like Ryan House, is in the relationship business. They help companies manage and measure all the ways they invest in their people, from healthcare benefits to compensation to HR administration and workforce analytics. Considering the work they do in healthcare, it’s natural for Sequoia to have a strong emphasis on social impact in supporting organizations like Ryan House. Sequoia’s Social Impact Program focuses on three pillars: health and wellbeing, economic opportunity and employment, and access to quality education for youth in need. “We engage our global team in their local impact endeavors, and in every office location we partner with non-profits that uphold these pillars,” said Diann Lawson, director of social impact for Sequoia. “We want to have close relationships with our non-profit partners, which means that we advocate for their cause, volunteer with them, get to know them personally, and provide financial support. Our goal is to empower our non-profit partners to serve their clients and to create lasting and transformative change in the communities where we live and work.” Sequoia first learned about Ryan House when its Arizona-based Senior Client Experience Manager, Alex Dembow, attended our annual Community Breakfast fundraiser in 2018 and instantly knew Sequoia would want to champion Ryan House’s meaningful cause. They did. Since that time, Sequoia has hosted pantry
and holiday toy donation drives, cooked and served meals for families attending Enduring Ties dinners, and volunteered at Ryan House events. Most recently, Sequoia hosted a networking event at their Tempe office and featured Ryan House as their non-profit partner to raise local awareness for our mission. Sequoia is so invested in its social impact values that when the company meets its social impact goals, employees are given a bonus that they’re able to direct to one of their non-profit partners. Last year, Sequoia was able to write a significant check to Ryan House on behalf of the employees who felt moved to support our mission. “It’s a testament to our team, and it’s really clear that we care about this organization and want to continue to support, raise awareness for, and care for these families,” Lawson proudly shared. “One of the ways we define success as a business is how we support our communities in need.” Dembow added that it’s fulfilling to see Sequoia invest so heavily in Ryan House and take a genuine interest in building relationships within Ryan House’s community. “It’s so special to have that footprint that’s bigger than us and to see the kids who are at Ryan House benefit from our support,” Dembow said. “It gives us a chance to think bigger than our day-to-day corporate work.” Dembow also shared how Ryan House truly is a special place. Their staff is always adding what she calls “sparkle” to the lives of those around them and provides a special touch to make everyone’s days brighter and more meaningful. “There’s such care and lightness at Ryan House,” she said. “They go out of their way to make people feel supported and cared for, and I think that’s really beautiful.” Lawson followed by sharing that the Sequoia team is honored to have a strong relationship with Ryan House and looks forward to their continued partnership.
“One of the ways we define success as a business is how we support our communities in need.”
