Brunelli House

My father was a patient at DFCI for three and half years, receiving treatment for high-grade neuroendocrine cancer

During the last few months of his life, my father experienced recurring rounds of infection, each requiring several days of hospitalization for treatment

Day or night, when the infection returned, my mother drove my him into Boston. She spent her days beside his hospital bed and her nights in whatever hotel was available

Hotel prices were high, food options were limited, and services were disconnected from my family’s needs. The very concerns that Brunelli House seeks to support

Brunelli House is in memory of my father, Peter L. Brunelli, and in honor of my mother, Barbara Keras Brunelli. Their legacy is family and because of them other families will be better off
