Our hearts are with those in our community impacted by the devastating flooding caused by Hurricane Helene

Help us reach our matching donation goal of $5,000 to provide support to our community

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, our community in Western North Carolina has been pooling resources and receiving support and donations to help with recovery and supplies, but we are just getting started. 

Hurricane Helene’s devastation and its continuing impacts have challenged the people of Western North Carolina in ways never before imagined. Our hearts are heavy over the many homes, businesses, and lives affected by the storm. We will mourn for those whose lives were lost during this disaster and for those whose lives are forever changed. For Heart of Horse Sense, Helene has strengthened our desire to provide key services to survivors of trauma. 

In this difficult time, we have watched our community come together in strength, support, and limitless compassion. As a small non-profit, we rely on your donations for our services and our horses. These expenses have not gone away.

Heart of Horse Sense is providing drop-in mental health support services to members of the community on select dates. Learn more about these opportunities HERE. These services are available to anyone affected by Hurricane Helene. Are you a veteran or first responder? We also have dedicated services just for you!

We're anticipating a spike in mental health needs as we continue to recover from Hurricane Helene, akin to what we saw during and after COVID when requests for services increased by 75%, and so are gearing up to aid our community in any way we can. You can also keep up with our services via Instagram and Facebook. 

We have received a matching donation promise of $5,000 from our donors, a portion of which was provided by Natural Lifemanship. This matching donation promise means that if we are able to raise $5,000 for hurricane relief services, we will be able to dedicate $10,000 to support those impacted by Helene!

Please consider donating to Heart of Horse Sense to support our community and our horses. Every little bit helps. We are deeply grateful for our herd and proud to be part of such a generous community. 

The communities of Western North Carolina will continue to recover and rebuild, and, as always, Heart of Horse Sense will be here to help. 

Thank you for your support!
