Sunshine Respite HouseOur goal is to build a full service relief, recess and relaxation bed & breakfast where we will welcome women with cancer - before, after and during treatment - for day visits and 4 night stays, year around.
This will be a place to get away from the daily grind where women can focus on their health/healing/wellbeing, share experiences, fellowship with others facing cancer and start the healing process … mind, body & spirit. We will offer services such as yoga, oncology massages, reiki, sound therapy, and various workshops. Enjoy some free time! Go for a swim in the pool, relax in the jacuzzi, go for a walk, or just sit out on the porch in a rocking chair. |
Mission / Goal: Our mission is to rescue abandoned, stray, and unwanted dogs in the Clarksville and surrounding community. We currently partner with a local training organization to provide free training assessments and discounted training to our adopters.

The Caleb Cares Project is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization that serves as an outreach in the Clarksville, Montgomery County, Tennessee area. Caleb Slate (https://ajourneyforcaleb.org/caleb/) not only lived, went to school and worked in our community, but he gave his heart and time in community service and showed love to people every day. This nonprofit strives to honor Caleb and carry on his legacy by using our hands to show love, give back and serve our community in his memory. Caleb died suddenly and tragically when he took his own life on August 12, 2019. Devastatingly, Caleb did not leave behind an explanation or reasons for that choice, but he did leave behind a legacy of love for us to continue. We were not ready for our earthly life to end with Caleb, so this Project helps us keep his name spoken and his love alive. While The Caleb Cares Project is an outreach organization, we also strive to bring awareness to young people and their families that suicide does not discriminate and strongly encourage open and honest conversations at home about what to do when difficult circumstances arise and life turns dark. |
