Practical Ways to Help

A place to stay while rebuilding a life. A quiet conversation in the sunroom. A meal shared after a community gathering. At River Rose Ranch, caring for people includes caring for the spaces that welcome them.

Right now, we have several practical needs, from repairs in the barndominium and a new heating and cooling unit for the sunroom to the ongoing upkeep of the property. Each opportunity below offers a concrete way to help keep River Rose comfortable, welcoming, and ready for those who need it.

1. Replace the Dishwasher — $600 Goal

Hospitality often starts around a table, and continues with the cleanup. A new dishwasher will help us care for the groups and individuals who use the kitchen.

  • $100 covers installation materials.

  • $120 funds 20% of the project.

  • Any amount helps toward the $600 goal.

2. Replace the Mini-Split — $1,900 Goal

The barndominium’s heating and cooling unit began leaking this summer, damaging the wall. Replacing it and repairing the damage will help keep this much-used space comfortable.

  • $500 covers wall repair.

  • $500 covers installation labor.

  • $900 covers the new unit.

3. Cover the Lift Pump Repair — $2,200 Goal

When the lift pump broke, it disrupted the indoor and outdoor bathrooms and showers used by two individuals staying here. We had the pump repaired this week because those everyday essentials couldn’t wait.

The $2,200 repair is complete. Your gift will help replenish the funds used to restore this essential service.

  • $100 helps cover the completed repair.

  • $220 funds 10% of the cost.

  • Any amount helps restore those funds for other ranch needs.

Thank you for helping us care for the place, and the people who depend on it.

4. Help Keep a Place of Welcome Comfortable — $1,900 Goal

At River Rose Ranch, our barndominium serves as both a gathering place and a temporary home. Community groups meet here, and today, one of our River Rose family members is staying here while taking steps toward a more stable future.

With its kitchen and full bathroom, this is one of our most-used spaces. But the mini-split that heats and cools it began leaking this summer, damaging the wall. We need $1,900 to replace the unit and repair the damage so this space can continue serving those who need it.

Your gift can help cover:

  • $500 — Wall repair

  • $500 — Installation labor

  • $900 — New mini-split unit

A gift of any amount brings us closer. Thank you for helping us care for this place, and the people who find welcome here.

5. Keep the Sunroom Comfortable — $1,200 Goal

Some of our most meaningful conversations happen in the main house sunroom. It’s a frequently used space for counseling, fellowship, and time with the people we care for, including those living on the property.

The sunroom’s mini-split developed a leak and needs replacing. Mild weather has given us a little breathing room, but a new unit will help keep this gathering place comfortable as temperatures change.

  • $300 covers installation labor.

  • $900 covers the new mini-split unit.

  • Any amount helps toward the $1,200 goal.

  • $50/month helps with everyday supplies and upkeep.

  • $150/month covers 10% of our monthly goal.

  • Any amount helps sustain this ongoing care.
