How GSSI helps
When funding is available, GSSI provides practical support so patients can focus on their care — not on how they'll get there, where they'll stay, or what they'll eat.
🏨 A place to stay
Hotel support for patients and families traveling for testing and treatment.
🍽️ Food & grocery cards
Cards for area restaurants and groceries while you are away from home for care.
🚗 Local rides
Help with local travel, including rideshares, to appointments and testing.
🎁 Gift bags
Personal-care items and activities to help pass the time between tests and treatments, plus resource sheets for your stay and when you get home.
Jennifer's GP House — our long-term goal
GSSI's dream is a house where gastroparesis patients and families can stay while receiving care — like a home away from home, close to treatment. Until that house exists, GSSI helps with hotels, food, groceries, and rides, one patient at a time.
