Tara’s history with Candlelight Ranch started in 2006, when her angelic daughter Reese took her last breath in the arms of her mother due to a terminal illness. The doctor that took care of Reese introduced Tara and her family to the Ranch and she’s been passionate about the Ranch ever since. Since that time, Tara has served on the board as President for 2 different terms, the Advisory Council, and now she is excited to announce that she was given the opportunity to serve as Candlelight Ranch’s first ever Development Director! Our wheelchair accessible Treehouse is now known as Reese’s Treehouse. I can’t adequately describe the joy I feel when I hear the kids that visit say they had the best day of their lives and loved sleeping in Reese’s Treehouse.
