My active, fun-loving son Austin is turning 6 years old soon! To celebrate this big milestone, we are planning a special birthday weekend near the water for the weekend of Friday, June 26th to Sunday, June 28th. We have loved ones driving in from several different states to celebrate with us, including my uncle’s grandkids and some of our dearest friends. Our main priority is making sure this weekend is 100% comfortable, accessible, and safe for everyone. Our guest list spans all ages—from toddlers to teenagers—and includes loved ones with Parkinson’s disease, autism, and diverse physical and sensory needs. We are looking for a rental location where everyone can safely stay under one roof, with secure boundaries near the water so the kids can play safely and the adults can truly relax.

Our Weekend Timeline:
Friday, June 26th: Guests arrive from out of state to settle in, catch up, and enjoy a relaxed family evening getting to know each other.
Saturday, June 27th: A full day of Minecraft-themed birthday fun, outdoor grilling, a family barbecue, and relaxing by the water.
Sunday, June 28th: A sweet farewell as everyone packs up and drives back to their home states.

How Your Support Helps Us
Finding a single location that accommodates physical mobility challenges, provides child-safe water boundaries, and is sensory-friendly requires extra care and planning. Your generous donations will go directly toward the rental location, the birthday barbecue food, and inclusive Minecraft party supplies to make this weekend safe and unforgettable for Austin and our loved ones.

Any contribution, big or small, means the world to us. Thank you so much for your love and support!
