Support Casey's: A Place of Healing and Hope

Tax deductible
I am a volunteer and on the board of Casey's. Casey's has saved my life. You see, my daughter Emma was killed in a horrible car accident on April 30th, 2024. Emma loved horses and found Casey's when she needed service hours for school to graduate. She fell in love with the horses and ponies at Casey's and even when she exceeded her service hours, she continued to volunteer there. She fell in love with a rescue there named Bandit and he became her love. Emma was diagnosed on the spectrum and while things in life weren't easy for her, she always felt at home at Casey's. She felt she could be herself and she blossomed just being there. As Emma's mom, seeing what Casey's did for her was amazing, I couldn't believe the transformation in her. Emma asked me to start volunteering with her and I did. The year and half I spent at Casey's with Emma was amazing. The horses and ponies transformed Emma and gave her confidence. She grew right before my eyes. When Emma passed, I knew I had to go to Casey's. I knew that is where I had to be. It became my sanctuary, my safe space, my place where I felt my daughter the most. I take care of Bandit and all the other horses have helped me heal from losing my best friend, my everything. Without Casey's, I wouldn't have made it through the hardest time in my life. Now Casey's is fighting for their life. They just found out they are losing their home. The owners have put the property up for sale and Casey's is left to figure out the rest. We need your help to try to save our home. We need to try to raise enough funds to buy the property that houses the animals that need us as much as we need them. Please help us save Casey's home. Help us save the home that our horses and ponies know and the place where I feel my daughter the most. Only you can help us make this happen!! Thank you!
