Hope Heals - 2024
Families affected by disabilities often face relentless emotional and physical demands, leaving adult women—whether they are mothers, wives, guardians, or sisters—without moments of rest or self-care, which can deepen feelings of exhaustion and isolation. Hope Heals Camp, a Christ-centered week-long retreat and year-round community, provides resources, rest, and relationships to these families. For many women, access to simple luxuries like haircuts or manicures is rare, sometimes limited to once a year. A $12,500 grant from Ten Thousand Reasons, applied for by Stella Bacon, enabled Hope Heals Camp to host a Spa Day event for all adult women at camp, offering a transformative experience of care and celebration. This grant empowered Hope Heals Camp to provide:
Complimentary haircuts, manicures, and pedicures for all adult women, including those with disabilities and their caregivers, fostering dignity and self-worth.
A nurturing environment with live musicians and a catered meal, creating a joyful and restorative experience.
A special day of pampering, honoring the resilience of mothers, wives, guardians, and sisters, and strengthening their sense of community and hope.
Thank you Stella Bacon for your unwavering commitment to uplifting women and families affected by disabilities through this meaningful, restorative event!
