Faith’s Lodge 2011 Annual Report

“Thank you for giving us the opportunity to come here and grieve. We had an amazing time. Coming, we were nervous and didn’t know what to expect but it was absolutely delightful.”

A note from our board chair:

Thank you to our extended family of supporters and friends!

Greetings to you as we finish our fourth year of what we believe is invaluable work serving parents and families who are grieving over the loss or the health of their child. Over 116 volunteers helped Faith’s Lodge serve over 220 families in 2011 which results in over 900 families served since opening our doors in 2007. Exit interviews from our guests were overwhelming positive with almost everyone indicating Faith’s Lodge helped bring hope to their lives.

2011 will certainly be remembered as one of our major transitional years for Faith’s Lodge. Long-time executive director Anna Stier left in early 2011; Jackie Lee Stone, our indispensible events contractor, helped the board by adding interim executive director duties to her work. And then at the end of the year, we were most fortunate to secure Curt Peterson, our current and ongoing interim executive director, who is overseeing tremendous building and infrastructure development for our foundation.

A highlight of key accomplishments last year includes: • 1st annual Restore the Hope Tree Planting for Faith's Lodge families and supporters following a devastating July 1 storm that ripped through NW Wisconsin. Event helped to restore the hope and the grounds at Faith's Lodge in a more literal way, through the planting o trees throughout the property. • Raising nearly $300,000 at 4th annual Hope Rocks event in September at EPIC Event Center. The event brought together more than 750 Faith's Lodge supporters and featured music from local artists Lynhurst, Rocket Club and Jeremy Messersmith. • Paying tribute to all the special children who have touched our lives at the Holiday Tribute Ceremony in December at the Minneapolis Woman's Club. This intimate ceremony offered moments of reflection and togetherness for families who have endured the loss of a child.

To help as stewards of your support, we are making our 2011 Annual Report available entirely online at (www.faithslodge.org). This allows us to direct our resources toward the parents and families we serve. If you would like to view the report in an alternative format, please contact us.

And of course, we could not do any of this life-changing work without the support of our many hundreds of donors. Thank you from all of us here at Faith’s Lodge; we couldn’t provide the services we do today without your crucial support. We recognize all of our supporters in the back of this report – please take a minute to visit those pages.

Thank you for all you do to continue our mission of helping those who have lost a child or are facing a child’s life threatening illness.

With Faith.

Sincerely,

Mark Lacek Board Chair, Faith’s Lodge

“Thank you to the bottom of our hearts we finally felt like the majority – not the minority for 1 weekend. We weren’t alone fighting this daily battle we call grief.” “We feel nothing could have made this stay at Faith’s Lodge better, we are so thankful this place and the staff. We truly can’t thank you enough!”

Who we are… Faith’s Lodge is a Minnesota non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides a place for hope and healing for families facing one of life’s most difficult circumstances: the loss or life-limiting illness of a child. Located on 70 acres in the north woods of Wisconsin, Faith’s Lodge has been featured on the TODAY show and many other media programs, and now welcomes families from across the Midwest and across the nation. Time in this beautiful setting, together with other families in similar circumstances, provides families a unique opportunity to reflect and connect. Professional grief counselors, a wealth of holistic healing experiences, and shared activities also help families heal, renew, and re-engage with life despite the struggles. More than 314 volunteers and a wide array of generous donors provide support to Faith’s Lodge to serve approximately 990 individuals from 220 families each year. Faith’s Lodge will operate its 2012 programs with a budget of $775,000.

Faith’s Lodge History: Faith’s Lodge was established in 2007 by a bereaved Twin Cities couple in remembrance of their daughter Faith. Since then, the beautiful Faith’s Lodge has nurtured over 850 families who are enduring challenges they never imagined. Rooted in personal experience, Faith’s Lodge combines parent-to-parent compassion together with professional grief counseling, holistic therapeutic experiences, and fun group activities to help families heal during a time set apart from daily life.

Faith’s Lodge Mission and Goals: The mission of Faith’s Lodge is to provide a place where parents and families facing the serious illness or loss of a child can retreat to reflect on the past, renew strength for the present and build hope for the future.

Our vision is that by gathering families in similar circumstances together with support, we can create transformative opportunities for healing and new hope to grow. 2

Our goals are to help families through their darkest hours by creating a nurturing setting together with other parents who have experienced the same kind of tragedy or who live with the same struggles. Set apart from daily life and from others who may not understand exactly what they are going through, and nourished by the beautiful and welcoming environment, families feel emotionally safe and supported to reflect, renew, and emerge with new strength and hope.

Faith’s Lodge Programs: Faith’s Lodge offers an array of programs serving parents and families of children who have recently lost a child (age 19 or younger), or who have a child with a life- limiting illness:

• Bereaved Parents Retreats support individuals and couples who have lost their only child. Specific weeks address infant loss, miscarriage, loss of an older child, and needs of moms/dads. • Bereaved Families Retreats support whole families who have lost one of their children. Activities help address the needs of both parents and siblings and help bring the surviving family members together. • Families with Seriously Ill Children Retreats provide a respite of “normality” and connection for the whole family free of treatments and hospitals, as well as the chance to connect with other families who understand what the family is going through. • Custom Retreats , whether planned by disease- or circumstance-specific groups or simply planned by each family during “open” weeks in the calendar let families use Faith’s Lodge in the way that best helps them heal.

Faith’s Lodge Partnerships and Collaborations: Faith’s Lodge partners with several different stakeholder groups to engage and serve families. Health care partners including Fairview Health Systems and mental health providers provide patient referrals. Nonprofits with related missions, including Ronald McDonald House Charities and various grief and loss groups also refer families to Faith’s Lodge, and we refer families to them for ongoing support. Many family foundations and small non-profits (often established in memory of a child) leverage their impact by fundraising for expanded facilities, services and scholarships at Faith’s Lodge. Membership with Community Health Charities Minnesota helps us connect with employee charitable giving and volunteer programs.

Finally, outreach to parent groups supporting a broad array of disease or circumstance-specific issues brings more families to Faith’s Lodge and empowers them to customize their own programming. Faith’s Lodge is accredited by the Charities Review Council and meets all standards.

Faith’s Lodge Board, Staff and Volunteers: Faith’s Lodge is governed by a ten-member Board of Directors chaired by parent and co- founder Mark Lacek. The Board is responsible to preserve the mission and financial well-being 3

Daily operations are managed by a small Comments from Guests staff including an executive director, lodge operations manager, a special events and partnerships coordinator, at Faith’s Lodge and an office administrator.

apart with others who have had similar experiences where they can acknowledge their grief yet still regroup and heal enough to feel that some of the weight has been lifted. They need Faith’s Lodge.

Response to the Need / Program Activities: Faith’s Lodge was created to bring parents and families who have experienced the serious illness of loss of a child together to share their strength. “Time apart” at Faith’s Lodge provides a special space where reflection, connection, and healing can occur. As the only retreat facility in the country specifically for families and parents experiencing the serious illness or loss of a child, Faith’s Lodge is a national leader in designing healing environments and activities. Eight suites accommodate two to six people each. Key elements of the Faith’s Lodge approach include: • Time apart . Breaking away from normal routines and environments sets aside time for emotional healing. Families can stay from one to five nights, once a year, for up to three years as needed. “Time apart” in retreat serves as a marker and transition point in the process of grieving for struggles and renewing strength for life. • Nurturing, welcoming and beautiful natural setting . Parents and families are often hurting when they come to us. The beautiful north woods setting and welcoming buildings and staff of Faith’s Lodge enfold families in a feeling of being cared for as they experience the healing grace and quiet of nature. • Others with similar experiences. Faith’s Lodge takes great care to bring together parents and families whose experiences are as similar as possible, for example, type of illness the child is experiencing or the circumstances of the family’s loss (child’s age at loss, whether the parent has other children, etc.). This close matching provides the essential element of helping participants feel emotionally safe to give and receive understanding. • Opportunities for personal reflection and healing experiences . Holistic healing experiences scattered throughout the building and grounds—the Path of Inspiration, the Bridge of Hope, journals in the rooms, places to display keepsakes, heart-shaped personalized stones, therapeutic art projects, tree planting, and more—provide concrete actions that honor and celebrate loved ones. • Grief and loss counseling. Parents who have lost a child experience feelings of loss. Licensed mental health professionals lead groups and provide individual attention to parents and families to help them heal, build strength, and recover hope. • Integration into normal life. At Faith’s Lodge, participants are encouraged to prepare meals together in the communal kitchen, eat as a group, and participate in scheduled recreational activities even as they grieve. This blending can help parents and families get “unstuck” and re-emerge into life, even though their feelings of struggle or loss may go on. It helps give permission and hope that the simple joys of life with family and friends can return.

Faith’s Lodge cannot cure illness, nor can we bring back loved ones. But by giving parents and families the chance to celebrate the lives in our midst and to honor those lost, Faith’s Lodge can help preserve families and relationships by providing a path to hope and healing. Because of generous community support, we are able to make these experiences accessible for all by keeping costs to a recommended donation of $35/night per family, with no one turned away due to inability to pay. A referral process through healthcare practitioners, mental health professionals, clergy and other nonprofits helps ensure that services reach parents and families most in need of the healing Faith’s Lodge can provide. Few of us have walked in the shoes of families facing the serious illness or loss of a child, but all of us can help surround them with compassion, hope and healing.

Faith’s Lodge is committed to ensuring that its programming accomplishes its goals of comforting and healing families and renewing a sense of hope. Exit surveys test the assumptions of our model. In 2011: • 98% of families felt welcomed when they arrived at Faith’s Lodge • 100% felt staff was responsive and easily accessible. • 100% said the opportunity to experience the natural surroundings of Faith’s Lodge enhanced their experience. • 95% said being around others with similar experiences was comforting. • 100% said participation in therapeutic activities was helpful for them. • 98% said scheduled activities provided a way to connect with others. • 100% would recommend Faith’s Lodge to other parents and families (94% said they would do this “as often as I can”). • 84% rated Faith’s Lodge as a 5 on a scale of 1 to 5 and 16% rated it a 4. • 100% of participants reported feeling more hopeful after their stay – even those who rated their level of hope as a “1” upon arrival. • 48% reported their increase in feelings of hope as a 5 on a scale of one to five and 41% gave it a 4.

Faith’s Lodge truly does have expertise that no other organization has to provide retreat-based healing experiences for bereaved parents and families coping with a child’s serious illness. We are able to sustain our programs through a robust mix of individual donations, fundraising events, partnerships with health care groups to sponsor their participants’ visits, modest earned income from paying retreat groups, and generous corporate and foundation support.

“Thank you this stay has made us feel like we can move forward with our grieving.”
