Fundraiser Annoucement🐴🌴🦥:

Gretchen is supporting Tula Vida Foundation as an ambassador because she has experienced how powerful this work with horses can be.

For April/May only, we have the chance to DOUBLE any donation that is made, as this campaign is match-funded by a generous donor, who believes this is needed in the world now more than ever!

As many of you know, Gretchen has brought groups of therapists to Costa Rica the past 10 years to work with the Tula Vida horses. The experiences we have had have been nothing short of life changing. The horses are natural healers, and we have come to find out that they are excellent Sand Play holders as well!

Gretchen is fundraising as part of the Horses for Mental Health Campaign to support the Tula Vida Scholarship Fund, so more therapists and first responders can experience this who wouldn’t otherwise be able to.

Donations are match-funded, so every contribution is doubled! All donations, regardless of the amount, will help us help Therapists and first responders have an opportunity to heal with the herd in Costa Rica.

Thank you for your support. Please copy and paste link below to donate!
