A house for healing.
A family made whole.
Houses for Healing gives families facing medical crisis a free, warm place to stay in Abilene — so no one has to face treatment alone, far from home, and without hope.
counties served
Each house carries a county's name — and a welcome for the next family from there who needs it.
Our mission is to care for the sick by providing free temporary housing to those receiving medical treatment away from home. We give a warm tiny house, free of charge, to families in need — and while they stay, the Good Samaritans of Abilene surround them with the healing love and grace of Jesus Christ.
Twenty homes stand today. Eight more are underway. Each one is sponsored by a church or organization that chose to carry someone else's burden for a season.
- ✓ Free lodging for patients & families traveling for care in Abilene
- ✓ A tiny house community — private, dignified, close to Hendrick Health
- ✓ Wraparound support from local churches & volunteers, county by county
The houses matter because the people in them do.
Every family who stays with us has a name, a diagnosis, a long drive, and a story of what it meant to have somewhere warm to land. Here are a few, in their own words.
A surprise blessing in the midst of my storm. A peaceful place of security and comfort. Houses For Healing is a beautiful extension of the Body of Christ, the hands and feet of Jesus meeting my needs.
Small houses. Big hearts.
Each tiny home is fully furnished, private, and free — a loving place to rest between appointments, not just a bed.
From referral to a place to rest — simple.
People come to us in the middle of something hard. Getting into a house is meant to be quick, personal, and free.

Build: a one-time gift toward construction. Ten more houses are planned, and each one can carry your church's or family's name.
Sponsor: a monthly gift that keeps an open house ready — utilities, insurance, upkeep and a warm welcome for every family who stays there.
Every house carries a name. Here's whose.
Churches, businesses and ministries across the Big Country have adopted a house — covering its upkeep and sending volunteers to welcome every guest.
