To the families of Carousel Ranch, words when there were none before; steps taken unaided; smiles where there were only tears… these changes are truly priceless in the life of a child.

Yet they happen every day here at Carousel Ranch – and that’s because of wonderful people like YOU.

Each year there are children with special needs waiting for the opportunity to improve their health and quality of life at Carousel Ranch. We’re growing to serve more children and YOU can help us reach this goal. Together we can reach our goal and make a difference... one special child at a time. Please change a life through the priceless gift of therapy by donating to our Carousel Wishes & Valentine Kisses Campaign.

Double the Wishes | Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $28,500 total, thanks to a very generous donation made by Wayne and Dianne Crawford. 

Since the day that I heard about Carousel Ranch I knew that I had found an incredible, enchanting place.  

About the time that I was born, my older brother was just being diagnosed with hydrocyphalus and cerebral palsy.  My entire childhood is filled with memories of his brain surgeries, seizures, medications and therapies.  If my parents had a place like Carousel Ranch to bring him to, then it would have been filled with that as well!  I'd love to introduce this to families with special needs and watch them blossom.

My friend, Salisa introduced me to this awesome place that she could bring her son to.  His happy place!  

Caleb was a bright light, always smiling.  I dedicate my time with the Ranch to them!
