My Interests |
|
I'd like to meet:We'd like to meet & network with more like-minded advocates for the developmentally, physically, intellectually & emotionally challenged children of today who can help us get our name out there to the world at large because we are hoping to set a precedence in alternative approaches to more organic based therapies.We would also like to meet more people who may be willing to volunteer their time or may want to serve an internship as part of furthering their education in working with these children. We also welcome financial contributors to the cause. Anyone who may be looking for investment opportunities that will benefit our future...the children. If you would like to contribute something large or small, we know that every little bit helps and small amounts added up become large amounts. You can send a contribution to Heartland Ranch through our website. Go to the following link to Heartland's donation page & Help Save Summer Camps for Special Needs Kids! CLICK HERE! We would like to thank you in advance for considering the work that we do important enough to support. |
