(202)

OUR MISSION
To give families facing Autism a safe place to go, where no one will look at them funny if their child doesn’t speak or is melting down several times a day. To give them a beautiful, peaceful setting out in the country with a few horses out in the fields, a playground for the kids, a stocked pond in which to fish, and a cute little two bedroom cabin with a full kitchen. In short, to pr

ovide these families with a sanctuary, a safe place to go and enjoy a time of refreshment for body, mind and soul.
