I’m fundraising for Hope View Haven.

Pamper the HVH Ponies!

HVH horses require regular care to be their best for their work with the youth of Kent and Sussex County.  This means in addition to feed, hay, and dietary supplements, they need regular veterinary care ($400+ per horse per year for routine visits, plus meds that can be $100/month for some of the herd – and that doesn’t even include emergency care!) , hoof care ($65+ per horse every six weeks), dental care ($75+/horse annually), and even massage and chiropractic work to keep them feeling ready to help kids find hope in their future.  These costs add up quickly!  Help ensure they can stay in tip top shape by giving a tax-deductible donation today!

About Hope View Haven

Mission: A 501(c)(3) organization helping youth to find hope through learning horsemanship and life skills, exploring strengths and interests through farm-based work experiences, and forging community connections.

Hope View Haven's mission is to reach underserved youth in our community who have experienced childhood trauma and need a supportive and safe environment where they might have positive and resiliency-boosting experiences.  Hope View Haven’s programming comes directly from the work of Broad View Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies, which got its start providing Equine Assisted Learning services to youth detained in a local juvenile detention center.  Broad View’s initial groups with those students helped confirm the transformative power of EAL for students who need reminding of the promising future that is available to them and the gifts they have to share with the world.  Hope View Haven will proudly carry on that tradition, aiming to support youth who have experienced childhood trauma from elementary school-age through the transition into adulthood.  Our goal is to help youth find hope for a brighter future through partnering with horses, and ensuring they have the resources and connections to achieve it.
