Dear Family and Friends,
About 25 years ago, I got a phone call at work from a stranger, a woman named Martha McNiel. She was starting an equine assisted psychotherapy program in Gilroy called DreamPower Horsemanship. She called to offer the agency I worked for, Advent Group Ministries, free equine therapy for the youth in our residential treatment homes, commencing a partnership between DreamPower and Advent that has been transformative for dozens of youths over the years. The youth of Advent were the first clients that DreamPower staff and horses worked with. It has been my joy and privilege to be part of DreamPower’s ministries all these years.
DreamPower, under the able leadership of Martha, has paired up children, youth and adults with our wise equine partners to empower dreams of building confidence, using minds and bodies in new ways and communicating and cooperating with the magnificent DP horses. Veterans, children on the autism spectrum, police officers, homeless adults and children with cancer are among those who have experienced the joy of partnering with a horse.
Please consider a one time or on-going donation for our Horses for Mental Health Campaign to allow more people to pursue their dreams working with the able staff and horses of DreamPower Horsemanship. Thank you!
Gratefully,
Bruce
