After many months of treatment and hospital stays, Kit and his family enjoyed a week together at our Family Retreat in Forster – taking the opportunity to reconnect and spend valuable time together.
“Staying at the Family Retreat impacted our family in all the best ways – it gave us the time to reconnect, be outdoors and let the kids be kids again.
“While we were there, we met two other families staying the same week – our kids hit it off instantly and we formed beautiful friendships; spending most of the week together. Kit even said his favorite part of the trip was making new friends.
“The location was perfect – it felt like we were on an overseas holiday. We loved being able to walk to beach and could even spot dolphins from our cabin.
I haven’t felt that relaxed in a long time.“
Each year, over 100 families with a seriously ill or injured child, or those grieving the loss of a child, will enjoy a much needed break away; spending a week at our Family Retreat in Forster.
Our Family Retreat offers a welcomed sanctuary for families with sick or injured kids to reconnect, relax and enjoy time together – giving the space and time for kids to ‘feel normal’ and ‘just be kids again.’
