Why We're So Vital
For Families
Children who are medically fragile come to A Rosie Place for up to 10 nights at a time for respite stays. During this time, parents are given the gift of time to go on a date night, experience fun activities with their healthy children or enjoy much needed rest. We also host special events throughout the year, families (parents, fragile children, and siblings) are given opportunities to connect with others in a supportive environment and central location.
Giving Tuesday 2025:
Give a Gift That Lives On
You’re giving a child the chance to express themselves, to be seen, and to leave their mark on a space built just for them.

Bubble Bash magic at H.A.V.E.N🫧
This family event allowed medically fragile children, their caregivers, and siblings to experience the joy of community in full color yesterday!
One of our favorite moments happened as our friend was exploring a bubble blower for the very first time. After learning the movements, he built his confidence and quickly turned into a true bubble pro!
His smile lit up the day while his family proudly watched him engage in play in a whole new way ✨
Because here, every “yes” creates moments like this. Enjoy our Summer H.A.V.E.N Bubble Bash recap below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ ... See MoreSee Less
Before the engines roared year after year… there was the very first Rosie Ride 🩷🏍️
In 2017, riders came together not just for the road, but to make a real impact. These moments capture the heart of it all: incredible children, compassionate staff, and a community ready to show up.
What started as a ride became a movement. Creating a world of YES for medically fragile children and their families!
Now, 9 years later, we ride on.
Registration is OPEN ⬇️

This week, creating a world of “YES” looked like a simple walk along our winding outdoor paths💛
For one of our children, moments like this don’t always come easily, but here they are always possible!
Regardless of the complexity of care, every child deserves joy, fresh air, and the freedom to just be a kid.
Moments like this are why we do what we do, and they don’t happen by accident. They are made possible through compassionate care and your support.
