Because of generous funding, moments like this become possible.
For many caregivers of children with special needs, life can feel like an endless cycle of appointments, advocacy, caregiving, and simply making it through the day. Rest often feels out of reach.
One mom recently shared what a David’s Refuge retreat meant to her:
"I’m still feeling so incredibly grateful for one full night to myself — my first in a couple years."
She arrived with no expectations other than "just getting there." What she found was something every caregiver deserves: a chance to rest, reconnect, and be surrounded by people who understand.
"What makes David’s Refuge so meaningful isn’t just the chance to rest... it’s the community. Being surrounded by people who just get it, without needing to explain a thing, is such a grounding gift."
For families living in survival mode, these experiences are more than a getaway. They are a reminder that they are seen, supported, and not carrying the weight alone.
Your support helps make these life-giving moments possible. Every gift helps provide respite, community, and hope for caregivers who spend so much of their lives caring for others.
💙 Because when caregivers are cared for, entire families are strengthened.
