History of Garrett's House:

Garrett's House was started in 2004 after the death of a little boy named Garrett James.  He was born with a genetic skin condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa, or EB for short.  He died from complications of EB when he was just 12 days old.  His mother designed this site in honor of him.  This site is to also educate, promote awarness about EB and to remember those who lost their brave battle against EB.

The name, Garrett's House came about, after the 1st Anniversary of Garrett's birth and death.  Each year his family celebrates his birthday by decorating a Gingerbread House.  After the first year, a friend suggested instead of calling them gingerbread houses, they should call them Garrett Houses.  And there came about the name Garrett's House.
