Holiday Time can be joyful, and difficult emotionally… when a loved one is recently deceased, or still living with a long-term degenerative disease. We are thinking of you and praying for a peaceful holiday season.

Holiday 2022 Fundraising
Thanks for your support!
We’re depending on supporters like you to reach our 2023 goal to offer wheelchair access to the Forest Flowers Trail and Lily Pond Overlook with a Fire Pit! This south-facing 140′ trail offers the most sunshine for flowering shrubs like lilacs, which flower best in full sun. Forest flowers include shade-loving Mountain Laurel and Azaleas. The 12′ x 12′ deck offers a place to stand or sit and observe nature, also fun for small group gatherings!
All donations count towards making this trail more ADA friendly. Donate now! Co-Create Outdoor Access that is enjoyable by all ages and abilities. Tax Deductible Donation. Celebrating 11 Years. Leading in Respite, Recreation, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
