A Tiny Touch of Home was born from one mother’s experience navigating long hospital stays with her daughter.
During those difficult days, Donielle saw firsthand how much a child’s environment impacts their comfort, rest, and emotional well-being. “While doctors focused on treatment, Donielle focused on something many families experience during extended stays: the room itself.
It felt cold. Clinical. Unfamiliar.
So she began bringing in small touches of home — soft lighting, comforting details, warmth, and familiarity. And over time, she noticed something powerful:
Her daughter rested easier.
She felt safer.
She began to heal differently.
That experience became the foundation for A Tiny Touch of Home.
Today, A Tiny Touch of Home transforms hospital rooms into comforting spaces for chronically ill children and their families — creating moments of peace, joy, and emotional support during difficult times.
Because healing isn’t just medical.
It’s emotional. Environmental. Human.
We believe every child deserves a space that feels comforting, personal, and filled with care during their medical journey.
Through thoughtful room transformations, community support, and hospital partnerships, A Tiny Touch of Home helps families experience warmth, hope, and a sense of home, even inside a hospital room.
Donielle is a mother, daughter, sister, friend, and advocate whose journey through her daughter’s extended hospital stays inspired the creation of A Tiny Touch of Home.
After witnessing how much a comforting environment impacted her daughter’s emotional well-being, she began transforming hospital spaces with warmth, familiarity, and care — small touches that made a meaningful difference during difficult moments.
Today, Donielle leads A Tiny Touch of Home with a vision of expanding this mission to families everywhere, creating healing-centered spaces that remind children they are more than patients — they are children deserving of comfort, joy, and peace.
Because every child deserves a place that feels a little more like home.
