You Will Feel Loved​

 

Our Legacy Retreats® are destination experiences where families create lifelong memories and receive the tools to navigate the challenges of terminal illness. Each member of the family will have intentional time in groups while gaining resources and tools to cope with challenges faced – all while having fun with others who ‘get it’!

 

All food, lodging, and activities are covered by generous donors, including a personal family volunteer to help you, we simply ask that you provide your own travel to and from the location.

*The Inheritance of Hope (IoH) story began with one young family facing a parent’s terminal illness – a mom and dad with young children looking for resources for their entire family as they all navigated the mom’s illness. Surprisingly, there were none. They decided to create resources for their family and share them with others. In 2007, Deric and Kristen Milligan launched IoH with the mission to inspire hope in young families facing the loss of a parent, and the brand has grown to serve families throughout the U.S.
