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.

🎨✨ On #WorldCreativityAndInnovationDay, we’re celebrating the incredible ways technology and imagination come together to inspire medically fragile children.
At A Rosie Place for Children, our upcoming HeARTworks Studio will be a creative haven—where traditional art meets cutting-edge innovation.
One of the ways we’re expanding access to creativity is through AI Art! With tools like NearHub's smart whiteboard and Midjourney's AI-generated art, children with limited mobility or unique physical needs can bring their ideas to life—turning thoughts, words, or choices into vibrant works of art. 🤖🖼️
It’s not just about making art—it’s about breaking barriers and giving every child the chance to express their inner artist. 💕🌟 Want to be part of this inspiring movement? Learn more about HeARTworks Studio and how you can support creativity without limits at arosieplace.org/heartworks-studio/
