Can you imagine hearing the doctor say, "I'm sorry, your child has cancer."

Can you imagine watching ... your child going bald, getting stared at or being treated unkindly?

Can you imagine the weariness of sleepless nights, hospital smells, losing control of your world?

Can you imagine living with unspeakable anger or just wondering "Why?"

Can you imagine your family growing apart?

Now, just imagine a place of retreat.

Imagine a place by the sea where the warm sun, rolling waves and ocean breezes rejuvenate you, where the sunset brings peace to your soul.

Imagine a place where you and your children can laugh and play together, where family relationships are restored.

Imagine a place where you can share with others facing similar challenges, where caring friends walk beside you.

Imagine a place where volunteers serve you willingly and joyfully, a place where the staff understands your child's needs.

Imagine a place where the spirit of God resides to heal and restore, a place of comfort and encouragement.

Just imagine.
