We lost one of our dear friends and Patriots on November 1. Brian Ensor.

Brian was the first Veteran that Healing Strides served. It was because of Brian that we have a Veteran program.

Brian’s story is one of many of our Veterans. Looking for purpose and acceptance. Looking for someone to understand.

Brian became a good friend to us all and was always willing to help in anyway that we asked. Speaking and sharing his story many times at our Fundraising events, bushhogging the fields and supporting other veterans and encouraging them to seek help.

Brian would come back several times a year since 2009. He said he needed to come get grounded again. He would come spend time with the horses. And just breathe. Just be.

I spoke with Brian regularly. We spoke three weeks ago. He knew he was losing his battle with cancer. We laughed and cried. Prayed and spoke of helping more Veterans. He was a good man.

If you are a veteran and need a place to go. Come see us please.

Horses Inspiring Hope.

“Jojo” was one of the horses Brian would come back to see. (Jojo is the horse not our sweet donkey, Oatie)

Blessings
Carol
