Spare Key provides assistance to Minnesota homeowners with critically ill or seriously injured children by making a mortgage payment on the family’s behalf, allowing them to spend time with their child.

During a family’s medical crisis, Spare Key makes a families mortgage payment for one month. This allows the parents to focus on their child’s well being and stay by their side during a difficult time filled with unknowns.

In this our thirteenth year, we have crossed the
$1 Million milestone in making families' mortgage payments to over 1,040 Minnesota families. We are grateful to all the volunteers, donors, corporate and philanthropic partners who have worked hard to reach this milestone.

But the need to assist Minnesota families facing their child's long-term hospitalization goes on. Executive Director Rae Thiede, notes, "Times are tough for all families, and yet, a sick child can't wait for the economy to turn around. Donations send a strong message to our families that as parents they can focus on their children and not worry about falling behind on their mortgage payment."

How can you help? You can donate on-line by clicking on the Donate Now icon (above right), or for more options move to our Contribute page.

It is a wonderfully simple way to keep your friends and family updated on our progress.

Thank you for everything you have done for Spare Key and everything you will do, but mostly, thank you for helping us give Minnesota families hope.

Author Patsy Keech describes the journey she and her husband, Robb, made during the short life of their son, Derian, through eleven surgeries, including five open heart surgeries.  This book covers the 2-1/2 year experience during his lifetime and the ensuing grieving and healing process.

In honoring the memory of their son, they were determined to assist other families with critically ill children. Patsy writes, “The only way we could do it was to extend ourselves and ‘pay it forward’ to the families who still were living the life we no longer had to.”  It was this sentiment that established Spare Key in 1997.

Order this book to learn about the struggles faced by parents with a critically ill child and the joy that is possible in the rebirth of our spirit despite deep pain and intense mourning.
The $24 purchase price supports the continuing work of Spare Key.  Shipping charges are included.
