You Gave Ashton the Courage to Try.
This handsome, 5-year-old boy you see above leading Ruka feared everything when he first arrived at the ranch: geese flying, insects buzzing, fish jumping out of the pond.
And, especially the horses. He wouldn’t go near them.
Ashton had been rescued from dreadful circumstances when he was eight months old, rarely experiencing human touch. Although he was adopted into a loving home, the abuse severely damaged his sense of safety and security. Fear permeated every part of his life.
That was six months ago. But because of your generous gifts, Ashton now confidently leads and rides the horses and even kissed a fish!
“He’s growing in his bravery every day because of Hope Reins. I can’t thank you enough,” says his mom, Mary.
Your philanthropy has not only dramatically changed Ashton’s life for the better, but it has helped heal hundreds of hurting kids over the past year.
In fact, take a peek at these amazing statistics—ALL because of your generosity in 2023!
- You helped 178 kids heal this year through 2,750 sessions!
- You sent 61 kids to Summer Camp and 23 teens to the Teen Retreat!
- You trained 59 mentors!
- You supported 56 kids in the graduate program Kids Give Back!
- You sponsored 40 kids from Refugee Hope Partners and Boys & Girls Club.
Thank you for changing the lives of kids who are victims of trauma, right here in your own backyard.
Remember, you’re part of a very special group of people who not only help hurting kids heal today, but you also set them on a three-year Pathway that equips them with skills to lead a happy, healthy life in the future.
And, most importantly, you’re giving them the gift of knowing God’s love.
Thank you.
In Hope,
