- Little Mary's Hospitality House
Little Mary's Hospitality House is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit religious Christian ministry serving families with children battling life-threatening, terminal, and/or debilitating illnesses. It is located in Wellston, Michigan, between Manistee and Cadillac.
Little Mary's was founded in 1982 when Tom & Maureen Fischer lost their three-year-old daughter Mary to a fatal brain tumor. Opening this ministry was their way of being able to turn Little Mary's death into a miracle for other families who face losing a child. Little Mary's offers such families a free vacation in Michigan's North Woods.
Little Mary's has 7 themed apartments in what was the original post office of Wellston, Michigan and later served as a bordello owned and operated by Mae Dust. The themes are: Fantasyland (Disney/Clowns), Mexico, Safari, Nautical, Western, Northern Michigan, and Country. They have ministered to over 2000 families from all over the United States and as far away as the Netherlands, Romania, and Jamaica... completely free to the "special guests" and their families.
