A Mothers Rest Charitable Respite Foundation

Since December 2020, Lawton Place Manor Respite Inn in Mt. Airy, GA has been filled every weekend, with an average of (10) weary caregivers on the wait list. By year-end 2024, LPM has hosted nearly 1700 caregiver moms, dads, spouses, and couples. As in years past, the majority of our funding comes from guest donations, recurring gifts, private donations, and group event sponsorship. We have yet to be awarded any community foundation or corporate grants to support this location. Lawton Place Manor remains a lifeline of hope for thousands of special needs parent and cargivers throughout the Southeast region. New fundraising efforts are underway to expand annual room sponsorship and legacy giving campaigns, and to further engage community support from churches, businesses, and local civic organizations. Our major donors have moved on to support other projects, and so we much shift without further burdening our guests. The minimum $75 donation we request still... ...only supports 25% of our monthly expenses. We had to raise our guest donations to $75, but this only covers 25% of our monthly expenses.

In 2024, A Mothers Rest took tangible steps forward in the planning of a third inn in the Midlands of South Carolina. After a year of searching for a suitable historic home and property that would fit our model, the decision was made to begin a capital campaign to custom design and build a Queen Anne-Low Country style respite campus, with 10-15 private guest suites, an exercise room, private pool and hot tub, sauna, tavern, and natural wellness center. Unique beds and furnishings were purchased to bring this inn to life, and build around these welcoming pieces.
