Fund a Weekend of Rest

Give the gift of rest.

Parents of children with special needs rarely get a night off, let alone a whole weekend. Start a fundraiser, share it with the people you love, and help send a couple to Jordan's House, where we stop the world for them.

Why rest

Caregiving doesn't take weekends off.

For special needs parents, the work is around the clock and year after year. Rest isn't a luxury for them. It's what keeps a marriage strong and a family going. Jordan's House exists to give these parents something they almost never get: time to be cared for themselves.

What one weekend gives

One weekend. One couple. Fully taken care of.

  • A private weekend stay at Ruby Ranch
  • Meals prepared by a personal chef
  • Spa time and space to slow down
  • Butler and housekeeping service, so there's nothing to manage
  • Time together, without a single thing on the to-do list

1

Start your page

Create your own fundraiser in a couple of minutes. Your goal is set to one weekend, and you can aim higher.

2

Share why rest matters to you

Tell your story and post your page on Facebook, Instagram or by text. Friends give right from your link.

A couple gets their weekend

Jordan's House welcomes a couple to Ruby Ranch, and we'll let you know when the weekend you helped fund takes place.

Questions

Good to know

Do I choose which couple goes?

No. Jordan's House invites and schedules every couple through our guest program. Your fundraiser funds the gift of rest, and we take care of the rest, privately and with care.

Is my gift tax-deductible?

Jordan's House, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Every donor receives a receipt by email for their records.

What if I raise more, or less, than one weekend?

Every gift goes to our respite program. Gifts from many fundraisers are combined, so every dollar helps a couple get their weekend, and anything above one weekend helps fund the next.

Can I fundraise because of someone I know?

Absolutely. Many people fundraise because a friend or family member is a special needs parent. Share your own reason for caring, and if you mention someone by name, please ask them first.
