Because of You

“Words cannot ever adequately express what this trip meant...It is exactly what we needed. I am so full of joy because of this retreat. Thank you, thank you, thank you…this trip has changed our lives!”

“My family and I were given a gift that can never be repaid.”

“After one day of seeing smiles and hearing laughter, I don’t know how much more full my heart can get. Today it may burst.”

Your Impact

66 past family members served returned as Legacy Retreat® volunteers in 2018. A new milestone that speaks to the life-changing impact your generosity continues to make in families affected by terminal illness. Thank you!

“Prior to our Legacy Retreat®, I was sad, struggling and frustrated with so many aspects of my life. All of that changed...I learned so much in four magical days. I learned that I was not alone.

The days I spent with IoH answered my prayers. Truly, after leaving the Legacy Retreat®, I am passionate, my relationship with my wife and children has been significantly strengthened, my spirits have been lifted and I am purposeful.”
