Our mission is to provide short-term
emergency resources to hospital
patients and caregivers.

Our Work

More than 10 million people per year visit major medical centers in Texas as patients, not counting their loved ones or caregivers. Many of these patients and their families lack adequate funds for items such as lodging, food, parking, and other basic needs. We’re on a mission to provide compassionate support to these individuals and their families.

Our Compassionate Touch Family partners with hospital social workers to identify patients and family members with great need. Through these partnerships, we quickly get funding where it’s needed most: to the hands of the patients and their loved ones.

“We are writing to express our heartfelt thanks for the very special gift we received from you! It is helping us through a difficult time. May God bless you and be with you always. Thank you!”

Patient's Family

“Compassionate Touch, we want to thank you for the gift cards for my mom. She is a patient at MD Anderson. The cards have really helped us out. Also, thank you for being Jesus’ hands extended to help others and show the love of Christ. Again, thank you so much, and may God continually bless you to help others.”

Patient

The VISA prepaid card I received was unexpected but very much appreciated. That was a generous and thoughtful gift. I had some bills that were due, and now because of your kindness, I’m able to catch up on some of them. Words alone cannot express how grateful my family and I are. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Patient's Family

“Words cannot express our heartfelt gratefulness for the gererous donation in our loved one’s hospital stay. Your gift was a God send and really relieved some of the stress. 

We are forever grateful. God Bless.”
