Rest, Reconnection & Respite - A Gift That Lasts
Picture a place that doesn’t just welcome you but wraps you in a peace that’s felt deep down; where time slows, and nature heals.
After a year of grueling treatments, The Otis Foundation offered Chris and Jack something words can’t fully capture: serenity, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose.
It felt like time & the ‘real world’ are suspended there. It was only Jack & I, the fireplace & nature all around us. It is amazing what stepping out of the everyday of your life, & letting everything fall away in a calm & peaceful place can do for your mental health & state of mind. Which in turn only helps my body.

Imagine the Festive Season—a time of joy, connection, and warmth. Now, imagine facing that season while carrying the heavy weight of a breast cancer battle. It’s an overwhelming challenge that no one should have to face alone.
This season, your kindness can bring comfort and relief to those in need. You have the power to make an impact and bring hope and support to someone’s journey.
Each year, with the help of people like you, The Otis Foundation gifts breaks away at no cost to those with breast cancer. This invaluable time away with loved ones, gives our guests time to relax, recharge, reconnect and create invaluable memories together, reducing the psychological impacts of the disease.
"I feel like I can continue on now with clarity & purpose. Our stay has been a reset & a much needed rest."
For Chris, who had faced “six months of sickening chemo, two surgeries, a prognosis that worsened as it went & now radiation; Soon to be followed by more chemo,” this time was more than a break away; it was a lifeline.
Their weekend was filled with small, yet profound, moments. Waking up to birdsong, watching swallows skim the dam, and seeing kangaroos grazing across the fence, they felt connected to each other and to the natural beauty around them.
Your donation makes experiences like this possible for more people like Chris and Jack, offering them the healing space they need.
You can be a part of the journey.
