Supporting Our Nation's Heroes

This is our huge annual Spring auction. As new beginnings sprout from the ground, so must we all grow. Destinacion's holds fundraisers to support our mission to end veteran suicide. Throughout much of the year, we keep the nonprofit going out of our own pockets. In order to keep saving our 4-legged heroes, and the 2-legged heroes they serve here, we must replenish our funds. The funds go directly back into the 501(c)3. 100% goes into the mission, and not to training, employees, or personal resources. The funds provide resources for the vets we serve to use here for their healing and equine-assisted therapy services. Books, journals, workbooks, and facilities to hold the therapy are just a few of the things you financially support, averaging about $2k a month to sustain. The horses we rescue directly impact the men and women of the Armed Forces, past and present. Here, they are all rescues with a powerful story of resilience, hope, forgiveness, and acceptance to share, lighting the path of hope for those in need. They are rescued, rehabbed, retrained, turned out to sanctuary, on strict re-feeding plans, farrier plans for soundness, and much, much more, which averages about $5k a month. In order to continue this unique "upcycling" of horses, we need community support. That's where you come in. You support a wonderful cause, have fun while doing it, and receive some cool items as a show of your support. I thank you for loving our military, and/or the animals of the world, as much as I do. There is so much more to see if in person!

Our mission exists to provide a safe place for veterans, their families, and active duty to process the unique challenges faced by the military community. The horses are used as a forgiving metaphor for their obstacles. Each horse has a rescue story, and this connects the service member or family member to a horse. Together, they overcome their difficult odds to be the best versions of themselves, displaying unimaginable resilience and perseverance to life a fuller, happier life.
