Financial Overview About You

Because of You

“IoH has changed our lives!”

“The most magical experience of my life...”

“I was excited about going to Disney for the first time in my life, but the part of IoH that impacted me the most was the healing that it provided for my family. I couldn’t see the brokenness inside myself until I had conversations with people my own age, going through the same thing.“

“We will be forever grateful for the memories and the relationships we made along with tools that we learned. This retreat reconnected my family. We return prepared and hopeful.”

“You are truly amazing angels on earth. This is exactly what my family needed. You will never know how much this means to me, and I will forever appreciate this.”

“We can’t even find the right words to express the amount of gratitude in my heart. We feel like our hearts could burst. We will be forever grateful.”

Growing Your IoH Family

We’re excited to welcome Tony Reid to our Board of Directors - our first board member who has been served by IoH.

As a retired Senior VP in IT at Marriott, Tony’s unique business strengths and background combined with his passion for IoH make him a tremendous asset for the families you help serve.

In 2015, Tony attended a Legacy Retreat with his wife, Janet, and their three children, Morganne, Spencer, and Hannah. Janet was dealing with the enormous challenge of metastatic breast cancer. She passed away in 2015, but since then the memories and legacy of the retreat continue to inspire and sustain his family.

In 2017, we were touched by a note from an IoH mother:

“Our middle daughter was sad today because she couldn’t remember how her dad’s voice sounded. It seemed like the right time to bring this precious gift out and I’m so grateful to you.”

It’s a priceless gift that is only made possible because of you! Thank you!
