Kennesaw, GA - Kathleen Fleiszar founder Life House Atlanta Children’s Respite, Inc. (DBA: Life House Atlanta). She now serves as the co-founder and executive director. Fleiszar is leading the effort to increase community awareness of the urgent need of a freestanding pediatric respite house in Georgia. Life House Atlanta, a 501c3 public charity, is composed primarily of volunteers who have been working ceaselessly to expand their database of potential and current donors to raise funds to build this house. “We are looking to construct a 12,000 square foot, freestanding building with ample ground space for a playground and quiet time in nature. The building committee has been looking at a variety of places in metro Atlanta and has located several prospective sites. Additionally, we have a conceptual design that provides a solid foundation of the anticipated cost of $8 million. There will be opportunities to donate toward individual therapy rooms, a hydrotherapy pool, a playground, or a child’s private bedroom. The ultimate, of course, would be to find someone who is willing to donate land, with or without a structure that can be renovated. I have a vision of staking a post on that piece of land with a sign that reads, “Future home of Life House Atlanta,” says Fleiszar. Life House Atlanta will be a warm and cheerful home uniquely designed to provide palliative care, which essentially means helping children with extensive medical needs live as well as possible for as long as possible.
