Forever Amber Acres has been selected as one of just 120 nonprofits across the country to take part in a nationwide Mental Health Awareness Month fundraiser through Horses for Mental Health.
The goal is to raise $20,000 in May to help offset recent funding challenges and continue providing critical services.
Forever Amber Acres specializes in equine-assisted therapy, offering support to veterans, first responders, and individuals facing trauma. The program focuses on emotional healing, trust-building, and recovery, using the unique connection between humans and horses.
Organizers say the need is real and growing.
With funding impacted by economic challenges and broader budget cuts, this fundraiser will help ensure services remain available, and in some cases free, to those who need them most.
The nonprofit also provides a safe haven for horses, creating a space where both people and animals can heal together.
Throughout May, the organization is encouraging the community to get involved, spread the word, and consider donating. For many, healing doesn’t happen alone, it happens together.
