Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hi Everyone, J. was telling me about this great free respite for families with children who have special needs. She said she'll post info about it soon but I thought I'd let you know about it before she posts. I don't have experience with this but I think said she is going to try it for her son. Heres the info from the website and the link: Meets The First Saturday of Every Month 5:00pm to 9:00pm Meets in the activity Center Side B see building mapTTR Ministry offers a special service called Take A Break, which is a respite event for the families of a disabled child or adult to enjoy. Most families find it very difficult to get even one evening out for themselves to enjoy. Take A Break provides 4 hours of free time for families to do whatever they want, such as taking in a movie, going shopping or even going out to dinner. This event generally occurs on the first Saturday of every month, with a few exceptions. The evening at the church is for people of any age - children, teens, and adults. Take A Break utilizes the gifts and talents of medical people, special education teachers, parents, teens, the elderly, etc., to provide companionship and care to the disabled youth and adults that attend the function. It is amazing how a mere 4 hours out on the town can rejuvenate and recharge the batteries of those folks faced with 24/7 care of their loved ones. God is good! Amen!
