You are not alone
1 in 20 children will suffer the loss of a parent before age 16. Legacy Retreats® were created to help support them — and their parents — through this all-too-common challenge.
Legacy Retreats®
Our Legacy Retreats® are destination experiences where families create lifelong memories and receive the tools to navigate the challenges of terminal illness. You’ll enjoy three nights and four days at the beautiful Renaissance Orlando. 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’!
We will spend one day at Magic Kingdom and the other at Universal Studios making memories together. All food, lodging, and activities are covered, 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.

LEGACY RETREAT® VOLUNTEER
The primary role of a Legacy Retreat® volunteer is to assist parents and group leaders with the care of children. Many IoH parents are weak from the progression of their disease or tired from the uncertainty their family faces. Families are typically eager for the opportunity to have a volunteer accompany them during their on-site experience. Parents are encouraged to take advantage of their volunteer’s presence and willingness to help for duties including transporting luggage to/from the hotel, organizing and delivering meals, assisting with airport pick-ups/drop-offs, and being available for whatever might help and encourage their family. Inheritance of Hope volunteers are what make the experience the most restful, the most memorable, and the most enjoyable for our families.
