Spirit of a Child Foundation bring four families to SGI for rest and relaxation

            A Tallahassee group is hoping to make a difference in four families’ lives by sending them to St. George Island for a few days this month.

Each year, the Spirit of a Child Foundation takes children and parents from families in crisis-be it poverty, unexpected death, homelessness or other challenges-on a retreat where they can relax, have fun and bond without having to deal with the difficulties of their everyday lives.

This year the group is providing thirteen parents and children from 4 families the chance to spend three days on St. George Island with the foundation and Journeys of St. George Island for the 2015 Parent-Child Project.

One family is coming from as far as Denver, Colorado.

All the families have what are considered “at risk” children between 6 and 14 years old.

During their retreat, the families will have the chance to do some of the things they otherwise might have no real chance to do — like sitting around a campfire with storytellers and musicians, taking a kayaking trip or just going fishing.
