By the Brook 2025

Because of your generous support, over 180 incredible moms were able to come together—both in person and online—at our annual By the Brook retreat on June 20–21. These two days were filled with encouragement, connection, and the powerful reminder of the confident hope we have in Christ.

By the Brook is more than just a retreat; it’s a lifeline. For many of these moms, it’s one of the few moments they feel seen, heard, and deeply understood. Your investment in Rising Above made that possible—not just for this event, but throughout the entire year.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us as we love and serve the special-needs community. Your generosity is changing lives!

With deep gratitude,

The Rising Above Team
