Because no family should face medical trauma alone.
From Soft Washing to Soft Hearts
At SoftLab Washing, we believe in something greater than clean homes—we believe in clean starts. That’s why a portion of every house wash goes directly to Hand to Heart Village, a nonprofit co-founded by our family to support others like us—families navigating the heartbreak and hardship of pediatric medical crises.
Hand to Heart Village exists to ease the emotional and financial strain for families of critically ill children. We offer support where it’s needed most: travel, lodging, food, and community care during the most difficult times.
Our Story Is Personal
As a military family and parents of a medically fragile child, we’ve lived the exhausting nights at the hospital, the endless road trips, and the crushing financial strain that comes with long-term care. We’ve slept in cars, eaten fast food we couldn’t afford, and prayed for a moment of peace.
Hand to Heart Village was born out of that pain, and built on purpose.
We're currently raising funds to establish a physical village—temporary lodging and support services for families in crisis, located near major children’s hospitals. Until then, we provide hotel stays, grocery cards, and gas support for families who need it now.
Every Wash Helps Build the Village
💧 20% of every SoftLab house wash in May goes directly toward launching Hand to Heart Village.
💗 You’re not just supporting a veteran-owned small business—you’re helping a child sleep with both parents nearby.
