Join us in supporting Second Chance Ranch, an award-winning nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives through the healing power of horses.

We are profoundly grateful to Kim Kloetsch for sharing her talent as a poet and lyricist. The song, Born To Run, is one of two songs written by Kim for our fundraiser. Because neither she or I are musicians or vocalists, we put the lyrics into an AI song generator, and this is our song! We would love to hear from any musicians / vocalists out there interested in collaborating to keep the fundraising going.

**About Us**
SCR is a sanctuary founded in 1999, for retired racehorses (and other sport horses). Our founder, Katie Merwick, has devoted 44 years of her life as an animal behaviorist and trainer. For 27 years, as a leader in the nonprofit sector, Katie has worked tirelessly to rehabilitate these magnificent animals, showcasing their remarkable ability to facilitate human healing.

SCR creates impactful experiences for children, adolescents, and military communities, focusing on suicide intervention, substance abuse recovery, and advancing the role horses play in mental health solutions.

**Why We Need Your Help**
SCR is currently facing significant challenges due to sudden federal and local funding cuts that came at the same time as unexpected costs. The cost of feeding a herd of 43 horses is approximately $140k a year. Our farm truck broke down and is unrepairable (will replace with an older used one), and we have $11k in vet bills (paid down from $38k). Today, we plead with you to help us continue providing these vital services, and give the highest standard of care, that our horses deserve. The SCR team is giving everything we've got - the horses are giving everything they've got - please give what you can to this deserving team to keep this mission alive.

**How You Can Help**
Every dollar you contribute will make a significant impact on our cause, regardless of the amount. Our organization operates with an all-volunteer board and staff, meaning every cent goes directly to the care and housing of our horses. If you can't donate right now, you can still help us tremendously by sharing our message. Getting our story and song to as many people as possible makes all the difference in the world.

A huge THANK YOU to all our supporters! It truly takes a village and we appreciate your generous support!
