Read on to learn from our guests about their time at Gabriel House.

  • Abimelec & Humbertina

    “My name is Abimelec and I am a Bone Marrow transplant patient. My sister, Humbertina, is my caregiver. We are from Mexico. We are thankful to God for putting so many people in our path to help us here at Gabriel House. They have given us a lot of support and through the Mindfulness and Tai Chi classes have helped to relieve some of the emotional stress to find calmness in this situation. The experience here at Gabriel House has allowed us to be at ease in this nice community”

  • Something unique happened in the beginning months of 2023 at Gabriel House. For the first time, at the same time, in our twelve years of being open, we have four young adult caregivers for their parent, their parent of the other gender. The three young men, Felix, John, and Joey, ages 22, 25 and 30 are taking care of their mothers, all of whom have just been transplanted; two underwent a double-lung transplant and one had a heart transplant. The young woman, Alicia, is 24 and just took her nursing boards as her father went through a liver transplant. What was amazing as we videoed them together, was that they all shared so freely the emotional chaos of being a caregiver, especially at their younger age. They were overwhelmed, fearful and anxious about the responsibility of being a 24-hour caregiver. They shared that being at Gabriel House created a community of people who surrounded them with support, guidance, and compassion. Others who were going through the same experience helped them navigate the process,
