Since 2012, the MBA Opens Doors Foundation has helped more than two hundred families with a child undergoing a critical illness or injury make their mortgage or rental payments.
“Madison Garrett and Ceili Leahy and their parents really helped us capture the importance of the mission of MBA Opens Doors,” said Debra Still, Chairman of the MBA Opens Doors Foundation and President & CEO of Pulte Mortgage.
“MBA Opens Doors is dedicated to making sure parents of critically ill or injured children can focus all of their attention on their child and that the child will be able to return to the home they love.”
The video features testimonials from the Garrett Family and the Leahy Family along with David H. Stevens, President and CEO of MBA, and Robin Stone, LICSW, Manager of Clinical Services Hematology/Oncology at Children’s National Medical Center, Washington D.C.

“I couldn’t imagine battling this disease and not having the support we got. It was just right on time and it was just what we needed,” her father, Edwin, says.
The video also features the family of Ceili Leahy, a student and the University of Virginia who battled cancer.
Her father, John Leahy, says in the video: “It’s nice to know that your safe place, the home that you live in, is secure. We’re not at risk of ending up having to lose our home because of financial reasons.”
An original composition, Call It Home, written and performed by C. Linney and J. Schoeny, is featured in the video. The song was underwritten by The Dietch Family Fund, and is available for download on iTunes. As with all donations to MBA Opens Doors, one hundred percent of the proceeds from downloads of the song goes towards helping families in need.
