Mikki’s Annual Turkey Hunt, 2026

Hosting 4 Families. Creating Lifelong Memories. Sharing the Gospel.

Mikki’s Mission was started by Wesley and Tanner Harris, a South Georgia couple with a deep love for Jesus, family, and the outdoors.

For years, their family farm, Greenview Farms, had been a place where children with special needs and serious medical conditions could experience the joy of turkey hunting. Beginning in 2007, various organizations hosted special hunts there, creating unforgettable weekends for families who rarely get opportunities like that. Over time, those events faded away but the impact never did.

In 2024, Wesley invited a young man with special needs to hunt during a youth opportunity weekend. Although they did not harvest a turkey, the experience left a lasting mark. It reminded Wesley and Tanner how powerful the outdoors can be — how a single weekend can build confidence, create belonging, and speak life into a child who often feels different.

Then in August 2022, everything became personal. Their daughter, Mikki, was born and later diagnosed with two rare genetic disorders: CACNA1A and TRAPPC4. These diagnoses brought progressive brain atrophy, seizures, low muscle tone, and countless medical challenges. Overnight, Wesley and Tanner became a special needs family.

They experienced the hospital stays.

The therapy appointments.

The financial strain.

The emotional weight.

They also experienced something else, how meaningful it is when someone intentionally creates space for your child. When someone looks beyond the diagnosis and sees joy, potential, and purpose. Mikki’s Mission was born from that place.

This April, Mikki’s Mission will host four families at Greenview Farms for Mikki’s Turkey Hunt. Each family includes a child with special needs or a serious medical condition. For one full weekend, these children will not be defined by their diagnoses. They will be hunters. Adventurers. Celebrated.

The weekend includes:

• Guided turkey hunts

• Lodging and meals

• Outdoor experiences

• Fellowship and encouragement

• Gospel-centered devotionals

• A space where siblings feel included and parents can rest

For many of these families, the financial and emotional weight of medical care is constant. Specialized equipment, therapy, and travel to specialists leaves little room for experiences like this.

Because of generous donors, this weekend is completely free to the families who attend.

Donations help cover:

• Lodging and accommodations

• Meals for the entire weekend

• Hunting gear and equipment

• Adaptive support when needed

• Devotionals and keepsakes

• Resources for families navigating difficult seasons

Mikki’s Mission cannot cure these children.

But it can give them hope in Christ.

Mikki’s life changed the Harris family forever. Through her story, a long-held dream became a calling to create life-giving outdoor experiences for families walking hard roads. This year, four families will gather at Greenview Farms because of people like you. Would you consider partnering with Mikki’s Mission to make this weekend possible?

Your generosity helps create memories that outlive diagnoses and point families toward hope in Christ.
