Enriching Escapes Foundation

Enriching Escapes was created to make vacations more of a reality for special needs families.

Unfortunately, vacationing can be a guilt-ridden undertaking for a special needs family: there is only so much time and money and diverting either away from a child’s significant needs is a decision that can burden a family beyond what a typical family may face. It’s valuable time that the child could be spending in therapy, for instance. And it’s money that could be spent on treatments or therapies that aren’t covered by insurance (if the family has insurance). Special needs families should be able to take a break without all of the associated guilt that can diminish the benefits of a vacation.

Enriching Escapes hopes to make vacationing easier for families with children with disabilities by assisting with travel expenses, as well as by organizing trips that include therapists of various disciplines so that the special needs child isn’t missing out on important therapy time. These therapists and other support staff will also provide general familial support so that the entire family can enjoy a much needed “escape”. Enriching Escapes will provide financial assistance, up to the entire cost of a family’s “escape”, based on each family’s level of need.

Three of our team members are excited to volunteer their time and services to give these families a vacation they all deserve!
