Your Gift Changes Lives

For families living with extraordinary caregiving demands, respite can be life-changing. Your donation helps provide a professionally supported vacation where parents can rest, siblings can reconnect, and families can make memories together.

From our Grantees: messages to our incredible Donors

Thank you for giving my family and I an experience that is priceless. To see the excitement and the look in my kids faces during mealtimes, before bed talking about our day, and the respite times where I didn’t have to worry was absolutely amazing!

The Marrero Family

It meant so much to me to see my son filled with joy and smiles. He made meaningful connections with the staff and other kids. He enjoyed the activities and did things and saw things that he would have not normally been able to do. This was a wonderful experience.

The King Family

We were able to be a normal family for once and enjoy time together without thinking about whats next in Carter's treatment. I was able to step away from the caregiver role for a few days and just be a parent.

The Rebuck Family
