Why We're So Vital
For Families
Children who are medically fragile come to A Rosie Place for up to 10 nights at a time for respite stays. During this time, parents are given the gift of time to go on a date night, experience fun activities with their healthy children or enjoy much needed rest. We also host special events throughout the year, families (parents, fragile children, and siblings) are given opportunities to connect with others in a supportive environment and central location.
Giving Tuesday 2025:
Give a Gift That Lives On
You’re giving a child the chance to express themselves, to be seen, and to leave their mark on a space built just for them.

“A Rosie Place enriched her life more than we could have ever imagined and gave us much needed hope in a time when things were so overwhelming and heavy.”
— Father of a Fragile Child
Because of you, medically fragile children experience joy, connection, and meaningful moments of childhood — and families feel supported, understood, and uplifted in a place that truly cares for them.
As we approach year-end, your generosity helps ensure these experiences continue for children and families who call A Rosie Place for Children their home-away-from-home.
✨ You make these moments possible.
