More play, less screen time!

Empower my child's voice, even if it's not like yours.
Recognize their understanding, despite physical limitations.
Nonverbal physically disabled individuals often possess hidden strengths.
Imagine the frustration of being underestimated.
As parents, we must passionately advocate for our children's deserved recognition.

If we all come together as a community to do better for our communities kids, creating more positive impact in their lives, what a beautiful world it would be!

It takes a village ❤️

Have you ever thought 💭, "I’d love to be involved in foster care but can’t foster 🤔?"

What if you did something like this for foster families? ⬇️

“I think anyone with a lot of kids like me will understand when I say that my favorite gift to receive is not flowers or chocolates or jewelry—it’s paper plates.

I have a friend who randomly stops by every few months to drop some off. I don’t even think she understands just how much of a blessing this is, but I have a feeling you would.”

A trip to Helen a few weeks back, I had one mission in mind.
I wanted a caramel apple.
I was shocked when I went into the store and saw the price tag that came along with that apple. $14.99 😭

I just couldn’t bring myself to spend $15 for an apple as much as I really really wanted it.

So, in the end, a few weeks later, we created an even more memorable time with MAKING apple slices covered with toppings.
It was one hot mess, but boy, the kids loved it!

On a totally different note, I see many people defer from adoption as they desperately want to adopt, but yet the financial expense that comes along with it is to many, impossible.

Did you know, that through foster care, though, like my hot mess of apples, it can be a truly memorable experience as well?

You can adopt a child through foster care with zero expense, the state covering everything…and you will get the most amazing beautiful messy experience when you say yes to that one child.

Not all end up with adoption stories but just knowing you were there for that child when they needed it most, worth it.

There is children up for adoption in foster care as well if you can’t go through the whole “foster” process that are waiting for their families.

Don’t let the expense of private adoption stop you from adoption..there are many children through the state waiting for that home too.

We might as well claim Taylor Drinkard as part of our Mad Hatter crew!
She has been such a huge help on the farm as well as ensuring our guys get lots of snuggles..which then makes them the best Care Farm crew for the kids visiting. ❤️🐐

Don’t be surprised if you roll in one evening and she’s sitting with a passed out sleeping goat on her lap…or Millie the pig! 😂😬❤️

As you know, majority of our animals here at the Sanctuary are rescues.
We have horses surrendered to us that are senior, medical issues, or needed a soft safe home to come to.

Yes, we are licensed as a rescue, but no, we are not active rescue due to ensuring we can always care for what we have here on the property out of our own pockets if needed, not draining finances or pleading for donations when we have nothing left.

It feels SO good to be in that place where we aren't laying awake at night trying to figure out how we will get the funds to pay for something.

The soaps and shed store items go to help cover the care for our crew and also the running of cassies care farm.

As you may know, we offer the care farm free to the community in honor of our daughter, Cassie, who passed away 2 yrs ago.

Since then, we added a butterfly garden in memory of a little girl named Abigail, and a rock garden in memory of a beautiful boy, JJ.

In some way, we can continue their memory on through these things and help give families a place to go that's free during these hard economic times.

Trust me, I get it, as a large medical family mom myself, I know how expensive life can get.

We have a medical handicap wheelchair bus we need to save up for amidst this crazy economy and that isn’t cheap either.

Anything “medical” “adaptive” “special needs” earns a few extra $$.

So here..we have a wheelchair friendly small care farm that doesn’t charge $$ to come, just come.
If you want to buy something for crew, we have a donation option on our website, or you can leave it at the shed store.
If you want to leave a donation, we have that option too!

Fall is coming and we look forward to seeing all your kids coming to visit our goats 🐐, pigs🐽, horses 🐴, and more!
