We are very pleased with the progress our grandson, Nate, is making at LifeStriders. When he first began the program a few years ago, he wasn't walking but by the end of the first session we couldn't believe it; he started to walk! A BIG 'thank you' to all the volunteers and therapists who give of their time/talent to help not only our grandson to be the best person he can be, but also to all the other children facing challenges as well.

We continue to observe the results of our therapeutic philosophy that are truly remarkable. The tenets of physical, occupational and behavioral therapies are intertwined with the surroundings of 23 acre facilities. The LifeStriders’ staff and board believe that nature is an intrinsic element in the healing process. The non-clinical environment of
LifeStriders positively affects this therapeutic model. It allows our counselors and therapists to engage our clients and their families in a more fundamental way. We have removed the often intimidating physical clinical hurdles from the healing journey.
LifeStriders continues to grow and prosper because of your kindness. Our therapy horses are on the job all year long and need our care and support. Like any home, our farm is also in need of care and maintenance. We are near completion of a new parking area in front of our arena aimed at the safety and wellbeing of our clients and visitors.
This addition has been needed for a number of years and it is now a reality. This is one example of how we will continue to invest in LifeStriders to sustain its mission.
Please consider a gift of $50, $100, $250, $500 or more to help us continue our mission and sustain the work of LifeStriders. Please also consider volunteering with us. We are driven by our volunteers. Close to 99% of our programming is volunteer driven. Without our volunteers, LifeStriders does not exist.
You are always welcome to visit us. When you do, you’ll notice that everyone here smiles a lot. It’s easy to do when you are with your family and you see miracles happen every day!
Best Holiday Wishes!
