Hold Fast Hope

  

“When you have a kid that’s going through cancer, you are in the fight or flight constantly. And coming into this is like stepping into a different universe. I can’t even explain it. It reconnected us as a family.”

Every Dollar Counts 

To provide everything a Retreat Family needs to rest, reconnect, and relax on a retreat, it costs about $5000. This time away from hospitals, treatments, and waiting rooms is incredibly valuable. We will host more than 200 families in 2018 but so many more applied. Help us accommodate more families in 2019 by giving monthly, today!

"God led me to find this retreat on the internet. This was exactly what my family needed to heal and rejuvenate. I can never thank Lighthouse enough for bringing us through the worst time of our lives. You really are a shining light to lead families through the darkness to experience joy and rest." #GoGoldwithLighthouse #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #RetreatFamilySpotlight
"Lighthouse Retreat meant so much to our family! The kids really enjoyed meeting new forever friends. We have special memories as a family and our family partners were exceptional. They made our experience so outstanding. The adult time actually brought my husband and I closer together and renewed our relationship with God. We enjoyed being spoiled. My son did not feel like a previously sick kid. We will treasure the memories and opportunity for a lifetime and hope to come serve other families someday!" #GoGoldwithLighthouse #ChildhoodCancerAwareness Month

“Our Lighthouse Family Retreat was so special to our family. We met alot of people who encouraged and inspired us to want to come back as volunteers in the future. When you have a child with cancer, your whole families life is consumed. It’s a roller coaster of ups and downs. This week we spent with these special people allowed us to focus on God, each other as a family, and fun which is a big difference from focusing on meds, upcoming tests, and how to make all of life’s normal stuff fit into a life involving cancer.  It’s priceless to meet other families going through similar struggles. We felt pampered and rested when it was time to go home. Thank you so much Lighthouse Family for everything you do!” #GoGoldwithLightouse #ChildhoodCancrAwareness #RetreatFamilySpotlight

“Lighthouse was such an incredible blessing to our family!  We had actually planned a trip to Florida the previous summer, but we were unable to go, because our son Lukas' leukemia came back.  He was supposed to be completely done with treatment (and he was) but one month later he relapsed.  So, our much awaited trip to Florida that was supposed to be a celebratory trip celebrating Lukas being DONE with leukemia, had to be delayed!  Lighthouse ministries gave us the chance to get away on a much needed vacation as a family.  Lighthouse is so special, because the organization and all the volunteers take such incredible care of the families.  We were actually able to enjoy our vacation even though we have four children ages 6-3 months, because we had help!” Read this full spotlight over on our Facebook page! #GoGoldwithLighthouse #RetreatFamilySpotlight
“The kids were excited that we were finally being allowed after three years of being in medical treatment to spend a week at the beach!  Though initially apprehensive upon arrival to meet new people and let them help us, by the end of the trip we had many new friends.  Justin even enjoyed participating in activities with other kids like himself and it was amazing to see him so happy to be able to swim in the ocean after 3 years.  We were so touched to meet people that had willingly given up their time to serve us and make our family feel special and relaxed.  It has been a hard 3.5 years and there are not many people that understand the journey we have been on and will continue to be on for many more years.  We enjoyed meeting other families who understood our journey, understood the terminology that has become part of normal vocabulary, and that realize the journey is never truly over.  The Lighthouse Family Retreat was an amazing experience for our family!” Continue reading this story over on our Facebook page! #GoGoldwithLighthouse #RetreatFamilySpotlight
“Being able to spend time and relax with one another as well as having other families there to relate to was amazing. The kids father and I recently divorced this year and it’s been difficult with all the changes for them. To see them enjoying life, swimming, running on the beach and having such a wonderful time was beyond anything I could have hoped for. We are very appreciative to everyone who made it possible for us to be there and for the people who were there to help us when we needed it! One day we hope to be able to touch the lives of someone else who may need it.” Check out our Facebook page to read more of this Lighthouse Story! #RetreatFamilySpotlight #GoGoldwithLighthouse
