The Grunau Family

When a child is diagnosed with a disability, it impacts the entire family. The challenges they face daily are often made worse by isolation with no relief and little support. But there’s one week out of the year that’s different! 

For hundreds of special needs families, Joni and Friends Family Retreat is a safe haven. Here, families impacted by disability are able to let their guard down, discover community, and experience the love and acceptance of Jesus!  

Meet the Grunaus and discover how this family impacted by cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and seizure conditions navigates the day-to-day challenges of disability. Watch how each member of their family has been blessed at Joni and Friends Family Retreat!
