Fund a Rainbow Student for One Semester this Giving Tuesday
It’s Giving Tuesday, a time to unleash your generosity and show your support for causes close to your heart. This year we wanted to tell you all about one of our students named Teddy; you've seen his picture on our Facebook page but here's his story in the words of his Mom:
"Teddy always looks forward to going to Rainbow. Even when we had to take time off for his hip surgeries because of his cerebral palsy, he would say that he wanted to ride and sing songs with his Instructor, Ms. Jensen! His posture straightens, and his confidence blooms when on his horse; he has learned to hold the reins and is now able to ride without side walkers. Teddy's team of staff and volunteers comes to us with excitement after each lesson to tell us what improvements he has made! Riding a horse is fun, special, and not at all like the typical therapy Teddy has attended all his life - but just like physical therapy, it is benefiting his gross motor skills and promoting speech development while he talks and sings and tells his horse to “ride on. We are so thankful to have found Rainbow!"
And we are so thankful to you, our Rainbow supporters, who help us to provide life changing programs to students like Teddy at an affordable price. It costs $750 to provide one student with 10 weeks of equine assisted activities and every dollar you donate goes directly to their lessons. Thank you from Teddy and all our students this Giving Tuesday! Please donate via the QR code or by clicking here on our Facebook Fundraiser Page.
