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.
