Pretty Much they need everything that your house would need but 15 times as much. As they help many people. To sum it up, they help families with a child, age 21 years or younger, who does not reside within Knox Co that is receiving medical treatment at any area hospital. Each house is furnished with a private bedroom, bathroom, play areas, and fully stocked kitchens.
