“This is the best kind of respite there is in our opinion. It is true ‘relaxation.’ -No schedule, no agenda, no kids, nowhere to be- just focus on our marriage and recharge.”

But…….
Many parents face big challenges to get a break.
When you are caring for a child with special needs, well it’s…….
Complicated.
Respite is a dedicated time to rest and refresh from the high demands of caring for a child with special needs.
Obstacles to rhythms of rest for families include lack of finances, time, location, and experienced care providers.
Rest is vital to mental, spiritual, and emotional health. The goal of A Special Purpose is to provide a serene environment, free of charge, for families to come rest, refresh, recharge, dream, heal, gain perspective, and receive encouragement to carry on the journey.
“I run on empty too much. God spoke to me about how it’s okay to need and want rest and to work on the guilt and asking for help.”
Respite Guest- Mom of adopted son with special needs.
“Thank you for providing an amazing getaway and respite. Our time together was full of laughter, tears, sharing and connecting. We are thankful for how God is using A Special Purpose!”
A Big Thank You to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation for awarding A Special Purpose a Quality of Life 2022 Priority Impact Grant for Caregiver Respite!
