A Naturally Positive Experience

"Childhood cancer is an all consuming fire. It touches every member of the family in inexplicable ways. And although this journey can seem isolating and lonely at times, the Lord is faithful to provide what we need when we need it. Enter the Tucker family. They know what pain is and have chosen to channel it for good. They open their farm to other families walking through cancer. Restoration Farms is a haven from reality, the pressures of trying to do life with a chronic disease. When we visit, my daughter becomes her old self, and I can see, even if just for a moment, that she has forgotten about the disease that has attempted to steal her childhood. The animals are calming and don’t care if she is sick. If we can’t physically make it to the farm, Danielle is a text away. She is a mighty prayer warrior. Restoration Farms never forgets us and has become an integral part of our team, enabling us to continue to put one foot in front of the other."

"Everyone always says that behind every dark cloud is the sunshine. We have definitely found the sunshine through Restoration Farms as we’ve continued to navigate this nightmare called Childhood Cancer.  Through this foundation, our entire family gets to experience time away from reality in a peaceful, calm, and happy place. When times are tough, when Caroline has had a bad scan or is feeling down, or her siblings are struggling with the thoughts of their sister with cancer, we know that we can escape to spend time with each other and all of the animals who just take time to listen. The Tucker family always welcomes us with open arms and big hearts. When we are in need or can’t make it to the farm, they make a special effort to send things that bring smiles to our entire family.  We are forever grateful for Restoration Farm."
