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.

Where Love, Care, and Fun Live
Happy World Bicycle Day from A Rosie Place for Children 🚲💙🌈
At A Rosie Place for Children, we believe every child deserves the joy of movement, play, and connection. That’s why we’re so proud of our adaptive bikes; designed so children of all abilities can ride, explore, and share in the fun together.
These bikes do more than support mobility, they open doors to friendship, confidence, and moments of pure joy. Here, differences are celebrated, and every child is included.
Parents often tell us how meaningful it is to see their children play side by side, connecting in ways that feel natural, free, and full of possibility. That’s what creating a world of “YES” looks like.
Curious to see our adaptive toys in action? We would love to welcome you for a tour. Call 574.235.8899 or email respite@arosieplace.org to connect with our Program Coordinator today✨ ... See MoreSee Less
