"Thank you so very much for the wonderful weekend we had with The Lighthouse. It touched me in ways you may never understand. I have met so many families that have had a child with cancer, and gotten to know them well, but the time I spent with the families there was different. We were able to talk and listen to stories that have changed me."                     - Tammy, retreat mom     

“From the heart of a mom, it was so very touching to see every single one of my “other children” made over and very much encouraged to do things. I cannot tell you how blessed my heart is for that. When a family goes through the horrific diagnosis of a chronic illness with one member, it is without saying … devastating. It is as if we have involuntarily been pulled through the desert, our souls seemed to be parched, and the Lighthouse has refreshed us with much needed cups of cool water! We are leaving here over and abundantly hydrated and completely and utterly blessed!”                                                                                 – Toni, retreat mom

“Our trip to the Lighthouse was just what our family needed. We had spent way too many days apart while our son, Ryan, was sick. You allowed us so many great memories that we will cherish forever.”                                                                         – Missy, retreat mom

“I feel so fortunate for the new friendships with other families made during that week at the beach. Not only is the retreat itself such a blessing but these relationships that it fosters are truly a gift.”                                                                                    – Kristie, retreat mom

“Our family had the best time ever on our “special” vacation! We had so much fun meeting everyone and sharing our lives with you for that week. We are looking forward to our reunions. We as a family decided this was our most favorite vacation. The food was fabulous and our accommodations were just what the doctor ordered. We met lots of new faces and now when we go to the clinic for visits, we always run into someone we know.”                                                                                                            – Phyllis, retreat mom

“The Lighthouse was fantastic and the kids are still talking about it. They didn’t want to leave. We have made friends that are so supportive. It’s so hard to believe what love and care we received from all your volunteers. I feel very blessed to have been there.”                                                                                                                                                                                       – Eleanor, retreat mom
