✨ Happy Holidays from all of us at Partners for Progress ✨

As we pause to reflect on 2025, our hearts are full. Because of you, this year was filled with breakthroughs, brave moments, steady progress, and quiet victories that meant everything to the individuals and families we serve. You showed up, through generosity, belief, and unwavering support, and lives were changed because of it.

And while the holidays invite reflection, our work doesn’t pause. The needs don’t wait. The goals aren’t finished yet. There are still riders to support, skills to build, confidence to nurture, and futures to shape.

💛 There is still time to make an impact.
A year-end gift to Partners for Progress directly fuels inclusive, individualized programs that empower people with different abilities to grow stronger, more independent, and more confident, both inside and outside the barn. Your generosity ensures that therapy sessions continue, life skills are practiced, and every participant is met exactly where they are with dignity, care, and possibility.

As 2025 comes to a close, you have the opportunity to be part of something deeply meaningful, something that lasts far beyond the season.

👉 Give before year-end and help carry this progress forward.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in this mission and the people at the center of it. 💫

✨ 124 gifts. 124 acts of kindness. 100% fulfilled. ✨

Our hearts are truly full. Because of the incredible generosity of our community, we are overjoyed to share that every single item, 124 out of 124, on our Amazon Wish List has been fulfilled.

These gifts came from so many corners of our Partners for Progress family: dedicated volunteers, client families, friends of families, friends of staff, and supporters near and far. Each box that arrived carried more than supplies, it carried thoughtfulness, care, and belief in our mission.

Thanks to you, our barn is now fully stocked across four essential areas: Office Supplies, Horse Care Needs, Occupational Life Skills items, and Therapeutic tools and resources. Heading into 2026 with these critical supplies already in place means a smoother transition into the new year and significantly less strain on our resources, allowing us to focus fully on delivering the highest quality programs and services possible.

We are deeply touched by this outpouring of generosity and grateful beyond words for the kindness you’ve shown this Giving Season. Thank you for sharing your generous hearts with our organization and for standing beside us as partners in progress.

From all of us...Thank you for making this season brighter and our mission stronger. 💚

If you missed the opportunity to give through our Amazon Wish List, there is still time to make an impact through our Year-End Donation Campaign, which continues to support the work happening in our barn every single day.

🎁 Giving Tuesday: A Day to Transform Lives at Partners for Progress 🎁

Giving Tuesday is a day when kindness becomes momentum, generosity becomes possibility, and when a single act of giving can change the course of a life.

At Partners for Progress, we witness emotional moments every single day, moments that stay with you long after you’ve left the barn. A child sitting tall for the first time. A client making a connection they’ve never made before. A rider taking a step toward independence. A volunteer stepping beside someone who needs a steady hand and a steady heart.

These aren’t small moments. They’re life-changing breakthroughs built through courage, compassion, community, and the belief that every person deserves a place to learn and thrive. And these moments only happen because people like you choose to support this mission.

As we step into 2026, our most ambitious and transformative year yet, we need your help to ensure that every rider, every family, and every volunteer continues to experience the growth and breakthrough moments that make PFP a home for so many.

Today, on Giving Tuesday, we invite you to stand with us.
To lift up the riders who give everything they have every time they step into the arena.
To fuel the volunteers who pour their hearts into every stride and every session.
To empower the families who trust us with their most vulnerable hopes.
To support the horses who carry this mission on their backs.

If Partners for Progress has touched your life in any way...today is the day to give back.

Today, our hearts are full. ♥️
On this Thanksgiving day, we pause to acknowledge the people who make Partners for Progress what it truly is, a place of purpose, connection, growth, and transformation.

To the families who entrust us with your loved ones:
Thank you for your courage, your faith in our mission, and your belief in the power of equine therapy. 🐎

To the volunteers who give your hands, your time, and your hearts:
Thank you for showing up for every stride, every breakthrough, and every quiet moment of encouragement. You turn challenges into milestones. 🌟

To the friends and supporters who stand beside us year after year:
Thank you for fueling the momentum behind our programs, our horses, and our clients. Your generosity strengthens our entire foundation. 🤝

To our community:
Thank you for seeing the beauty in inclusion, dignity, and perseverance, and for recognizing that progress is built together. 💪

This year, we have witnessed transformation in many forms: a first independent step in the arena, a new word spoken, a friend made, a goal reached. These moments may look small, but to us, they carry the weight of hope. And every single one of them is the result of a village that cares.

There is a spirit at PFP that cannot be measured, only felt. And on days like this, it feels especially strong. 💚

From all of us at Partners for Progress: Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
May today be filled with gratitude, joy, and the reminder that when hearts come together, progress follows. ☺️
