Welcome!
Pay-It-Forward House provides a place of rest and respite for the family members and friends of patients receiving medical treatment in DeKalb County in Northern Illinois.
Most of our guests are far from home, visiting a loved one at Kindred Hospital-Sycamore, at Kishwaukee Community Hospital or under the care of DeKalb County Hospice. Pay-It-Forward House welcomes them to catch their breath and get some rest, whether for a few hours (free of charge) or a few weeks (at minimal expense). Our warm, friendly home-away-from-home was created to help alleviate the stress and worry of persons living through a loved one’s illness. We invite you to take a virtual tour to see the House and its Serenity Garden.
Admission to the House for overnight accommodations requires a referral from staff at the treating facility. The receptionists know how to initiate the referral process as do many of the nurses and social workers.
If a loved one’s illness brings you to DeKalb County, Pay-It-Forward House, located at 719 Somonauk Street, across the street from Kindred Hospital-Sycamore, is a place you should know. In spite of the proximity, Pay-It-Forward House and Kindred Hospital-Sycamore are separate legal entities. Pay-It-Forward House is a volunteer-based 501(c)3 charitable organization, funded by the generosity of people from all over the United States.
