Unique Host Family For Summer Ball

What a great idea! It seems as though some leagues struggle to find enough host families and this works well for everyone involved. Unused rooms going to someone who can use it and the residents love having the player(s) around.

hokie,

Prior to my son's injury, he was staying at an assisted living facility in Wenatchee, Washington where several seniors and the Bonaventure Staff was his host families. The kid was spoiled. The senior residents loved him, the staff took care of him, and he lived in a relatively new one bedroom apartment on his own. He and another teammate lived there, each on opposite ends of the facility so that they were shared amongst the residents...it was nice. Ironically, both young men suffered torn UCL's and their summer season was cut short. My son had a good time for the one month that he stayed there, it was good for him.
