HOPE FOR CAREGIVERS.
A PLACE OF LIGHT + HOPE FOR CAREGIVERS
As caregivers of medically complex, disabled children we are living exhausting, stressful, chaotic lives that we never expected to be living. Back and forth between the hospital, therapies and appointments. We are in a constant state of hyper-vigilance worried about our children and our futures. This is often an isolating, dark journey that very few people understand.
The Apricity Hope Project is here to be the light in the darkness, the ray of sun during your coldest chapters. Whether you are visiting us at The Hideaway for a meet up or retreat, you are skipping town on a getaway, you are receiving a care(giver) package, or you are listening to our podcast – we hope you know you are loved, you are seen and you are not alone.
Welcome to The Apricity Hope Project.
OUR MISSION
The mission of The Apricity Hope Project is to empower, encourage, comfort and restore the caregivers of medically complex and disabled children, who are facing life-long diseases.
There are a lot of organizations for disabled, medically complex children – but who is there to support, encourage and care for the parents and caregivers?
Meet the Apricity Hope Project.
HOW WE HELP:
We are connecting and caring for caregivers through our podcast, When Autumn Comes, and with Care(Giver) Packages and Hospital Go-Bags. Our Take 5 Program encourages caregivers to take (at least) five minutes for themselves with our Apricity Hope Project retreats, meetups and getaways.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING:
The amazing thing about AHP is that it isn’t disease specific; we grow our support networks and continue to learn from another. There aren’t other programs like it that love on caregivers. It’s a space to be happy and sad together, and to share the minuscule steps forward that are actually a huge deal to us that other people wouldn’t pause at. We are known, loved and seen from afar even when it’s dark, scary and lonely at home.
