Fair Haven Foundation Sharing Christ's love through compassionate housing for seriously-ill patients and their families.

Fair Haven Foundation serves seriously-ill patients and their families who have traveled from around the world to receive critical medical care in Indianapolis. Patients are provided a home-away-from-home through fully-furnished apartments free of cost near downtown hospitals. Fair Haven was founded in 2007 by Amanda Milner, who survived a cancer diagnosis at the age of 30, with support from her friends and family, and now she’s paying it forward. Fair Haven’s mission is sharing the love of Jesus Christ by providing not just housing, but compassionate support to patients and their families in their time of need.

One the very best ways for you to step into a window of hope with our guests is by providing a meal at Ada's Place. The positive effect that a delicious meal, homecooked and offered freely, has on someone at the end of a long day is enormous. Families tell us that these meals mean so much to them!

The process is simple: Show up with your friends, family, co-workers, church family, or any other social group, show love to our guests by feeding them dinner that you either bring with you or cook here, and leave the families feeling cared for, encouraged, and well fed!

There are plenty of opportunities coming up to provide a meal here, and you can get all the details about providing a meal at https://fairhavenfoundation.org/provide-a-meal/

BreAnna spends a lot of time thinking about the future these days: finishing school, raising her twins, going back to work, opening a business someday.

But for a long time, those dreams felt uncertain. At 25 years old, after giving birth to twins, BreAnna’s heart function slowly began to decline. At first, medication helped to stabilize her. But that was only a temporary solution.

As her condition continued to decline, BreAnna was admitted to IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, where she spent four straight months waiting for a heart transplant.

But the most difficult part of her journey was being separated from her twins. At the time that their mom was admitted to the hospital, they were only two years old.

Read the rest of BreAnna's inspiring story about how she is moving into the future with her family by her side after a heart transplant and lengthy stay in Indianapolis, and how Fair Haven was able to come alongside her be a refuge in the storm.

BreAnna's story, "Hope For Tomorrow", is available at https://fairhavenfoundation.org/story/hope-for-tomorrow/

It’s such a blessing to partner with the local church to share the love of Christ through compassionate service with the families at Fair Haven. Many of these patients and families are going through one of the most difficult times of their lives while far from the support of their families, friends, and communities. Your church has the opportunity to partner with Fair Haven in multiple ways to step into this window of hope with our guests.

From bringing a meal to stocking our shelves to a deeper financial and missional partnership, we would love to find a way for your church to be a part of the amazing ministry that is happening here at Fair Haven. We have ready-made opportunities for large or small groups of people to serve, as well as opportunities for your church to partner with us at a heart level and support the organization. You can make an impact here at Fair Haven!

We're delighted to have so many wonderful IU Health social workers that connect our guests to Fair Haven! Anyone who has stayed at Fair Haven has been served by a social worker who listened, understood their unique situation, and worked to connect them to a solution. We love our social worker friends, and this story is a wonderful illustration of why!

Our amazing Parisian Market volunteers made this event happen! From the Planning Team that worked for months to create and curate the beautiful spaces, to those that gave up a weekend to work the event, we are recognizing our volunteers today!

Every volunteer with Fair Haven has their own, unique connection to the mission of caring for patients and families who are facing a medical hardship far from home. And each one of these wonderful people make a real, tangible difference in the lives of our guests. If you serve with Fair Haven as a volunteer, we are grateful for you! Thank you!
