Perfectly Stable is in need - please help if you can

Perfectly Stable provides under-privileged children with a safe place to visit and experience the beauty and healing power of a positive relationship with animals. The organization is built upon the belief that children need a special place that:

• Fosters responsibility, independence, and accountability - the building blocks of progressive development.
• Provides a level playing field for all, regardless of station, situation, or challenge
• Teaches them that dreams can be achieved.

Yesterday, a fire in Bradford burned down the facility that Perfectly Stable, leaving 30 horses without food and shelter, and Perfectly Stable without the facilities and equipment necessary to fulfill its mission. 

Julie Parsons, B.A., B.Sc., founder of Perfectly Stable, is hoping to raise $20,000 to replace the contents of the barn, and to rebuild it. If you want to donate (money or equipment), please contact Julie at http://www.perfectlystablefarms.ca.
