Because compassion is needed in life’s most tender moments.
When Carolyn Novak’s husband Al was living with frontotemporal lobe dementia, Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care walked alongside their family during one of life’s most difficult seasons. Because of generous donor support, Al was able to receive compassionate hospice care at home — surrounded by family, comfort, and dignity in his final weeks.
Hospice support eased the physical and emotional demands of caregiving, allowing Carolyn and her family to focus on what mattered most: being present, sharing meaningful moments, and saying goodbye in loving, natural ways. The care extended beyond Al’s death, as Kansas City Hospice continued to support Carolyn through grief counseling, support groups, and remembrance programs — resources made possible entirely through charitable giving.
Gifts to Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care ensure that patients receive expert care wherever they call home and that families are supported long after a loss. Donor generosity brings comfort, dignity, and hope to those navigating serious illness and grief — when they need it most.

Creative Giving
We make it easy to donate non-cash assets — such as stocks or other securities, your individual retirement account (IRA), cryptocurrency, or a donor-advised fund (DAF) — which often come with greater tax benefits for you. Your generosity helps bring expert care, peace of mind, comfort, guidance, and hope to people affected by serious illness or by grief. Your support helps Kansas City Hospice realize a vision that each person in our community is valued from life through death and each family is supported in their grief.
