I’m fundraising in support of Healing Strides because their work matters deeply to me. They serve veterans and the disabled community in the Roanoke area, creating opportunities for people to feel supported, connected, and not alone during difficult moments. I believe in this work because I have been a volunteer there since July 2025. Through thoughtfully and professionally facilitated experiences with horses, people are offered space to slow down, reconnect, and move forward in meaningful ways. During May, Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m working to help this program reach its fundraising goal so their care and support can continue to be available in the community. Your donation goes directly to this program, supporting equine health and care as well as new products for the students and helping ensure this care remains available in their community. I invite you to join me in supporting this important work and making a difference in our community. Together, we can help ensure no one has to walk this journey alone.
