Connection After Respite
After Rachel was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, the Wenrick's received an FPS Respite in January 2025. The respite was "a true moment to breathe" amid Rachel's long, difficult road of cancer treatment.
Last June, they attended our Phillies' game, reconnecting once more as a family! FPS is to proud to continue creating memories in our community through events like these, beyond the Respite Experience.
Our Mission
