We all need "me time"
Getting enough downtime as a parent is hard enough, let alone for those who find themselves grieving a loss or providing specialized care 24/7.
We remind parents of children with special needs to come up for air more often by providing ways for them to recharge their batteries through gift cards, activities, self-care, and more!
This is all made possible through the generous donations of time and money from community members like you.
Our Mission.
Provide financial means to enhance family or me time for the parents who tirelessly care for their children with unique needs/and challenging situations including illness and death.
Our Vision.
Assure that special parents who are struggling are given opportunity to recharge their batteries and return home with a smile on their face!
Some lose their identity in the shadows of those they love and serve.
No matter who you are or what you do, you need to take a break! If not, you add stress to your life; it robs you of joy. You literally owe it to yourself AND your loved ones. There are parents of children with special needs/unique situations, who give and give, but do not have time or means to replenish themselves-no “me” time.
Self-care and taking breaks are imperative. “It’s like you’re depositing money into a bank and building up cash reserves. To have more to give your child, you have to build up those reserves.” Dr. Rouse
Sometimes we just need time to think, to reflect on who we are. Other reasons are increased productivity, personal development time, prevent burnout, add physical movement for health benefits, improved emotional health, less stress.
