In order to provide new and amazing benefits to the animals and the people of Florida we are in need of funding to enact a plan to offer equine therapy to neuro-divergent individuals as well as continue to take in animals that are facing starvation, abandonment, in need of special care/medical attention and facing euthanasia.
