Pause is made possible by you.

Building resilience and increasing hope for special needs families is our mission, but impossible to achieve on our own. You provide the resources and tools needed to provide rest, support, connection and fun to families. 

When you financially support Pause you are giving a mom, who has never trusted their child with someone else, a night to herself. You are giving a dad who spent the week driving back and forth from the hospital an opportunity to rest and recharge so he can be strong for the days ahead. You are giving a couple who hasn’t been on a date night in over a decade a chance to pour into their marriage.

When you financially support Pause you’re affirming that a child’s self-worth and self-confidence are valuable and essential to their childhood. You are equipping a child with tools to help them learn to care for themselves in times of adversity. You are allowing a teenager a safe place to be unapologetically themselves in a world where “fitting in” is impossible. 

When you financially support Pause you’re giving space for families to feel connected and welcomed to their communities. You’re helping to create memories and build family traditions. You’re helping families connect with other families like theirs to give a sense of unity and purpose. 

When you financially support Pause you’re moving families from surviving to thriving. We are seeking your support this Giving Tuesday.

With a donation of $1500, you will support a family of 4 for an entire year. 

With a donation of $500, you will allow 8 caregivers to attend Thrive Night providing food, fun, connection and education with trained counselors and tools to take home.

With a donation of $250, you will provide 50 children with one month of Sunday morning Unlimited programming.

With a donation of $100, you will cover resilience building supplies for 25 kids at Respite On Demand to build their self-esteem and toolkit.

With a donation of $50, you will sponsor a family of 4 at a Family Fun summer event to create memories and strengthen families.

With a donation of $25, you will thank a stand-out volunteer for bringing fun and compassion to a Parent's Night Out event.

With your support, we can continue this very important work. Thank you for making Pause possible. 

This is CAN DO.  This is COMMUNITY.  This is YOUR SUPPORT.
