Your daily gift helps create moments of peace, joy, and healing for families in need.

At Elijah’s Retreat, we’ve learned to recognize the signs.

We see the tight shoulders of parents who arrive carrying the invisible weight of caregiving, worry, and exhaustion. We see the cautious glances from siblings who have learned to take the back seat. And we see children who need room to just be—without the world watching.

But over the course of a weekend, we see something else unfold.

We see eyes light up when they meet our horses—curious, calm, connected.
We see siblings climb trees and chase butterflies, laughter echoing across the pasture.
We see their parents breathe. Rest. Smile. And finally, exhale.

By Sunday, what we see is a family who felt safe. A family who remembered how it feels to be together without stress, schedules, or stares.

This is why we’re here.

Every day, because of gifts like yours, we welcome families into a space designed for joy, rest, and connection. For children with special needs and their families, the everyday pressures don’t pause. But here, for a little while—they do.

If you feel led to make a difference in another way, such as purchasing items we need or use on a daily basis, we have created an amazon list that you can purchase from. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/FE....

And that makes a daily difference.
