Ren Shields' Story
Manes and Miracles has become such an integral part of my life- both personally and professionally. I am employed there, and every day, I see the incredible difference it makes in the lives of children with special needs. The therapeutic services that are offered provide children like mine with opportunities they might not otherwise have.
As a parent of a child with special needs, I know firsthand the challenges and frustrations that come with trying to find the right resources and support. The moment I saw my child interact with the horses at Manes and Miracles, something clicked. The horses provided a sense of calm and connection that I hadn't seen in my child before. Watching my own child grow in confidence and ability has been nothing short of miraculous, and that's why I'm so passionate about supporting this organization.
By participating in this fundraiser, I'm not just raising money- I'm giving back to a place that has given so much to my family. I'm helping ensure that other children have access to the same life-changing experiences. I've seen how these therapies can empower kids to overcome their own challenges, gain new skills, and find joy in ways that go beyond traditional treatments. Manes and Miracles has been a lifeline for so many families, and I'm committed to supporting it's mission so that even more children can experience it's magic.
This is more than a cause for me. It's personal, it's emotional, and it's something that I truly believe in. When you contribute to this fundraiser, you're not just supporting an organization- you're supporting a community of families who know exactly how transformative these therapies can be, and for that, I'm forever grateful.
