In Gratitude.

I love sharing stories with you about how your generosity helps kids heal with horses at Hope Reins.

In fact, this beautiful fall photo of Ashton, shown above with his horse, Peter, is a testimony to your faithful support.

A little over a year ago, this precious boy was afraid of his own shadow.  And yet now, here he sits comfortably at his best friend’s side sharing a moment of friendship and thanksgiving.  “He’s growing in his bravery every day because of Hope Reins,” says Mary, his mom.

While Ashton’s journey illustrates the profound impact your generosity has on one child,  he is just one of many.

I want to take a moment today and highlight the cumulative joy and healing you’ve given to hundreds of kids—just this year!

                                    YOU’VE HELPED US:

• Offer a whopping 3,000 sessions for kids suffering trauma (by the end of this year).
• Enroll 195 kids into the three-year program, 76 of whom joined this year.
• Provide 58 kids the best experiences ever at Summer Camp. And, 19 kids had the opportunity to enjoy the Teen Retreat this year.
• Host 8 workshops for staff and volunteers on facilitating growth in key resiliency skills and supporting kids/teens with various challenges.
• Support 60 kids in Kids Give Back, which is the final step of the Resiliency Pathway and focuses on thriving beyond Hope Reins.
• Sponsor 90 kids from community partners like Refugee Hope Partners and Boys and Girls Club, who experienced Friday Night Group Sessions.
• Fund 18 horses for a whole year! 

As we prepare to fund a record-breaking 80 kids this Christmas for 2025, I want to thank you again for always being there for our kids and horses.

Kids find hope amidst pain because of our magnificent God and your unwavering faithfulness.

Have a beautiful weekend.
