GRACE provides respite resources for caregivers of special needs children. Caring for children is the most rewarding and beautiful calling in life and often times it is the most exhausting; especially when your child has special needs. The responsibility is squarely on the shoulders of parents, siblings and other family members. These families can be incredibly strong but even the strongest families can use a respite. Come attend a night of respite at Constance Free Church. While there you are also invited to register for The Chat, which is an educational support series for caregivers.
