Hurding Handicaps weeklong Great Getaway camp for families facing disabilities was a success! Here is a note our office received from the executive team: “Thank you so much for fulfilling our wish list for the Hurdling Handicaps Great Getaway. We had a wonderful week of care and respite for 32 families affected by disability. We had 192 people attend with over 100 as volunteers who paid to serve our families and be the hands and feet of Jesus. You were a part of the week by praying and providing some of the supplies we used at camp. Fidget toys which helped with sensory needs, chocolate bars for s’mores, little Jesus’ figures that were hidden all over camp that the kids, youth, and adults with special needs loved finding, folders for family welcome packets, sailor hats for our cruise theme costumes, and so much more were all provided by you. You helped to make the camp/retreat extra special. We truly appreciate all of you. Thank you for your part in making the week a blessing to our families with special needs and our volunteers.” Thank you to all who partnered with us and Hurdling Handicaps!
