Give a Gift
Every gift makes a difference!
Donating to Hope Reins Christian Counseling Center is an opportunity to change lives—both human and equine. Our horses and donkeys have a vital role as trusted partners in the healing process for individuals and families navigating emotional turmoil, past trauma, and a variety of challenges impacting mental health.
Your generous support helps provide for the essential needs of these incredible therapy animals including daily nutritious horse grain, quality hay, clean bedding, annual vaccines, regular veterinary care, medications, farrier services, dental care, and warm blankets during the cold winter months. These basic yet critical provisions allow our horses to remain healthy, happy, and ready to serve.
Equines possess two unique qualities that make them powerful partners in the counseling process: they mirror what they sense in others—offering deep insight into emotional struggles we may not even realize we’re carrying—and they are remarkably authentic. They don’t mask their emotions, and they require people to earn their trust through clear communication, consistency, and accountability. These traits make every interaction with them a chance for growth, healing, and reflection.
Note: Hope Reins Christian Counseling Center is not a tax-exempt nonprofit organization. Contributions made here are not tax-deductible. Your gift is a voluntary contribution that directly supports the care of our horses and the services we provide.
Every gift—big or small—makes a difference. Your gift creates a ripple effect that strengthens the health and well-being of our entire community. Together, we can foster a spirit of healing, hope, and the sacred expression of God’s love for all people and every living creature.
