I have the great pleasure of working for Carousel Ranch, a local charity focused on helping children with special needs through horse therapy.  The work done by the Carousel Ranch team has helped change the lives of countless children. Each February, we hold our Carousel Wishes & Valentine Kisses campaign so that awesome people like you can show the love for amazing people who need your help!   Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated and will help us serve even more children who are currently waiting to receive treatment. 

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. 

Dear Friends~ I have been blessed throughout my life with unlimited opportunities, experiences, successes and failures.  I have had supportive role models who encouraged me to pursue my goals through education and the respect of hard work.  I chose a career that involved athletics and teaching as well as volunteer and non-profit work.  Along the way I have met like-minded people who have inspired me with their knowledge and selfless desire to help others, and who have pushed me to ask myself, "what to do next"?

I have no doubt that all of my life experiences were brought together to prepare me for the joy and pride I take in working with the children, parents, co-workers and horses of Carousel Ranch.  It is an environment of love and happiness and boundless hope that I would never have believed existed if I hadn't seen it for myself.  It is an arena of giving that makes a difference every, single day.  

I hold dear the below quote by Dr. Temple Grandin, which sheds a light on my reaching out for monetary support.  I greatly, greatly thank you for taking the time to read my words.  The enclosed video is a beautiful tribute to the work we do at Carousel Ranch and introduces you to some of the remarkable families we share our days with. Please come spend some time with us.  I would love to show you the ranch, our beautiful and talented horses and our incredible staff. 

With love and thanks, for helping us to make the lives of others better.
