Good Afternoon William,
My name is Tami and my daughter is Trisha, I just wanted to give you a HUGE thank you for your sponsorship.
Robinson ranch is the best thing to happen to Trisha, John and Sheila have provided the best therapy for Trisha and without your sponsorship it was very hard to financially afford it.
Trisha is in heaven when she is riding. I have watched her go from being scared to now being very excited for each session. Trisha is really learning and enjoying therapy, she is engaged and gets others engaged as well.
You have provided Trisha with the means to learn and to be free of anxiety – even for just a little while. Trisha is so happy when she is sitting on Kachina, she is like another person.
I just can’t tell you how much it means to have this financial burden lifted. Trisha lives on a very slim budget, I try to help her financially as much as I can.
A little bit about Trisha, she is 39 years old and is mentally retarded with high anxiety and because her equilibrium never developed, she has a lot of balance and sensory issues and unfortunately medical issues as well. Trisha always has a smile on her face, she works through physical pain on a daily basis but that does not stop her from being the happy and go lucky person she is.
Trisha love horses, dogs and really any animals she comes in contact with. Trisha has a dog named Rufus and lives in a group home with two roommates that have special needs as well. Trisha is about 15 minutes from my home where she stays with my husband Jim and I every other weekend. Trisha is very involved in the Special Olympics, she plays softball track and field in swimming.
I just cannot thank you enough for what you’re doing for my daughter! I hope that Trisha gets the chance to meet you and thank you in person.
You are very appreciated,
Thank you so very much – Tami

Hi Bill,
Words cannot express how elated I am that my contribution went to the CRH in Milford, Ohio!!!! I know this facility very well and even attended a fundraiser some years ago. I also participated in a trail ride where I raised money and attended a fun-filled day of trail riding along with lunch and raffle prizes. I have seen the benefits of this wonderful creature, we call a horse, and the benefits they can do . . . I own two horses myself. :)
My heart is overfilled with joy at this moment!
Many thanks to you and all my best!
Janet

Thank you very much, Bill! It’s been such a difficult year for many of our student families so your donation will be put to very good use to support their lessons! Thank you and please let me know if you are ever in town and would be interested in seeing our program first-hand.

Hi, Bill. I just wanted to take a minute to thank you sincerely for helping Liam to do therapeutic riding this past year. It has been so rewarding for him! We could have never anticipated the benefits. He has had a lot of medical issues this year with his type 1 diabetes, so we’ve managed to extend the grant the entire year. Thank you so much! I have attached a photo that you can feel free to use.

Mr.Chafin,
I want to thank you for helping my son with horseback therapy. I wanted to give you an update and a photo. My son was scared of the ocean,animals,noises,fourwheelers,gocarts,anything that is loud and even not so loud noises like when he covers his ears to pee pee’s in the potty or when he clicks his seatbelt in the car. He would not touch an animal at all. All the times going with the school house to the corn maze pumkin patch field trip with the petting zoo..he would not touch them and would pull his hand away in fear..He was a little scared of these horses for therapy , but is not any longer. He loves going to horseback therapy. He does not speak much and is in speech therapy 2 times a week….just as soon as i get to the long gravel drive entrance he jumps out of his booster seat and climbs over to the front seat and says “Horsey ” !!!! I am so happy to see his face light up. You helped us and we have been going weather permitting weekly. I thank you so much for that. I am going to look for a picture of Justus on the horse to send to you in this e-mail.I was wondering how often can you help us with this therapy ? I think Justus has used up his sessions. I lost my job due to lay-off. I am unable to help Justus with these type of activities at this time. It has actually been a hardship to get gas. I do not know how often to ask for assisstance and was unaware of how many sesssions he got from the first time you got them. I just wanted you to know that i am taking him to them and he is enjoying them . I think it is helping his confidence,self worth,pride,body strengh,balance…so much….i read that Temple Grandin said , horseback therapy helps these childen because any activity that causes your body to balance itself and continue to rebalance itself over and over it will open the learning receptors in the brain. My son is currently in a separated autism classroom in the 3rd grade. He is reading on an early 1st grade level. I want to start giving reins from above Justus spelling words on index cards to repeat and go over while riding on the horse. I think if the learning receptors are open this would be an ideal time to attempt. I am asking for more therapy for Justus and i thank you again for any consideration. I hope this letter find you in great spirits and great health and i thank you for all you have done for Justus and all these special children. Justus is my greatest treasure.

Yes, absolutely Michael had a fantastic time at the NASA space camp. He really had a good experience. Again, many thanks to Reachout America for the opportunity for Michael to attend camp. It really made his summer a special one.
Thanks!

Thank you Reachout America for sending our daughter to riding camp. We can’t tell you how much she enjoyed the camp and the people there. The most important part of this experience is how much this has helped with her cerebral palsy. Thank you so much again. This would have never happened without your organization’s help.
Sincerely,
The Collins family
