CherishAbility is a 501(c)(3) organization serving Christian Scientists with developmental special needs and their families. We are family-led.

We offer experiential enrichment programs, informational and inspirational resources, and financial assistance. Rainbow Valley Resource Network (RVRN) has been bringing support and healing to Christian Scientists with developmental special needs for nearly 40 years. Formerly a working ranch in upstate New York, RVRN has transformed into a nationwide support network connecting families, volunteers, and caregivers. Services include: coordinating and hosting tailored programs and events online and at CS camps, providing subscriptions to CSPS publications, assisting with bills to cover CS care and support, making aid available for respite and enrichment activities, and sharing useful resources about organizations and professionals that serve this community. Our inclusive "circle of love" nurtures spiritual growth and progress.

Ahoy mateys! 🏴‍☠️✨

Our September Loved One Gathering was beach-themed!

We filled treasure chests with love, strength, and positive thoughts, decorated pirate hats, and hunted for hidden treasure while playing a Camp Bow-Isle favorite game—Pirates and Cargo!

The real treasure? The community, laughter, and friendship we shared. Thanks to all who sailed in! ⚓️💛

💛 Loved One Gatherings started with our warmhearted co-hosts from Camp Bow-Isle! Participants were beaming with joy when they reconnected with their CherishAbility friends after a summer break.

⛰️This session's theme—Sea to Summit—has loved ones exploring Bible stories, animal life, and nature through inspired activities.

🌊 August started in the ocean. Loved ones explored spiritual ideas from the Bible story of Simon Peter and played some fun ocean trivia! Did you know if you removed all the salt from the ocean, it would cover the entire earth 500 feet deep?!

🐚 Next month Loved One Gatherings are heading to the beach (online)–stay tuned!
