After suffering years of physical and emotional abuse from birth parents, the grandparents obtained legal guardianship of two siblings. The older sibling experienced anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder and her therapist recommended equine assisted therapy to aid in her recovery. Through a donor-advised scholarship fund with Nevada Equine Assisted Therapy (NEAT) in New Washoe City, we were able to fund 12 sessions of therapy to be used as an adjunct to more traditional talk therapy.
