Annual Fundraising Event setup and participation in Sacramento, CA-October 26, 2013
The organization, Horses Healing Heroes, provides a pathway in the form of equine assisted psychotherapy for returning veterans who struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD). I participated because they are a worthwhile local organization that needed people to plan, setup and participate in their annual fundraiser event. I believe in helping those returning veterans who are struggling through Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD). HHH is doing a good thing and groups like this always need help in the form of someone’s time rather than only their money.
I am not a horse person or a fund raiser, so every aspect of working on a fundraising event, a horse focused event and with horse people was new to me. As a result of my participation (along with many others) there was a successful fundraiser that will allow the horses to continue to be cared for and the therapy program to continue to help those with PTSD move out of the shadows and back into a more normal life. As a result of the program, one, two or even a few veterans with PTSD who might have slipped through the bureaucratic cracks otherwise now can obtain the help they need.
