Chapel Hill House Needs a New Set of Wheels
We need your help.
If we were to ask the families who stay at Chapel Hill House their favorite things about this retreat, every one would say “the golf cart” somewhere on that list.
You see, while all kids like riding motorized vehicles around the woods, for Chapel Hill House campers, it’s a little different. Many kids are physically unable to hike the trails. They may have spent weeks or months confined to a hospital bed, or they may be in the midst of radiation or chemotherapy. The mobility that most kids take for granted is something many of our campers can only dream about.
Then, imagine these same kids visiting 72 beautiful acres. Trails wind through the woods. There are campfires, a one room school house, a pasture with wooden animals, a playground and wildlife…a whole world to explore. We just need to help empower these kids to make exploring a little easier for them, their parents and their siblings.
Enter the golf cart.
The golf cart allowed our families to explore the nooks and crannies around Chapel Hill House. To travel the trails, to follow the creek, to enjoy the green of spring, the heat of summer and colors of fall.
Until last week.
That’s when our golf cart, after years of use and thousands of miles taking hundreds of kids along the trails of Chapel Hill House finally gave out on us.
Now, we need your help. A good off road golf cart will cost us about $7,000. We need your help now more than ever. If you can help us out, please donate via our Facebook Causes page or by sending us a donation. Your donation is tax deductable and will help us get Chapel Hill Kids back on the trails again!
