Soon we will be heading to a beach in Florida for a cancer family retreat, hosted by Lighthouse Family Retreats. We have heard great things from other families who have attended these retreats, and we are hoping to bring back some awesome reports ourselves! So here is this month's charity highlight.
Who: Lighthouse Family Retreats
Mission: to serve families living through childhood cancer by helping them to laugh, restore family relationships and find hope in God.
What They Do: Lighthouse Family Retreat hosts beach retreats for families affected by childhood cancer. They endeavor to provide some momentary normalcy in the midst of the chaos. Kids just being kids: playing in the sand; laughing in the sun; and enjoy a vacation as if maybe for just a week cancer has all but disappeared.
Refer A Family: Know a family facing pediatric cancer? Part of a family facing pediatric cancer? You can apply for a retreat here .
Donate: All of the retreats are run by volunteers, and on donated money. If you would like to help further Lighthouse's mission, you can learn more about volunteering or donating here .
We will be back next week...hopefully with pictures!
Sounds like tonnes of fun, Katie! Hope you and your little girl enjoy yourselves. Remember to post the pictures soon. =)
