This year, to honor Eliot, we are asking our friends to remember him with us by giving $99 for each day of Eliot’s life. It is our joy and love to take the lessons God taught us through our son and spread it throughout the world in the work of 99 Balloons.

There are currently 42 rEcess sites & many of those will be taking a break for the summer. So the month of May means one last awesome #rEcess night. If you’re a rEcess family or volunteer... have a blast! 🎉

The @new_heights_church #rEcess leadership gathered to reflect on another amazing year. The site director said, “while rEcess was created as a respite program for families, it has turned into a life-changing experience for the volunteers & all involved”.
