Lets build a healing haven for Humanities Herd

Our Story:

My entrepreneurial journey began with a personal struggle. I was grappling with life-changing anxiety issues that seemed insurmountable. Working with animals and children has always been a passion of mine and therapeutically satisfying. In my quest for healing, I found myself on a farm, assisting with rescue animals. It was a transformative experience that opened my eyes to the therapeutic potential of animals, particularly horses.

There was one horse in particular that I worked closely with. He had suffered from stress and trauma, much like I had. At this point we both realized that our lives were no longer our own. we remained stripped, vulnerable and casted away from a society we once played a very important role in. Together we formed a bond, a mutual trust that was healing for both of us. This horse didn't just change my life for the better, he became my lifeline, helping me more than any medication ever did. It was a profound realization that led me to the path of equine therapy. For medical reasons, I relocated cities and he insisted on moving closer to me. 10 years later we are still together, closely bonded and ground each other regularly.

I am living proof that this form of therapy works. It's not just about the physical benefits, but the emotional and psychological healing that comes with it. Unfortunately, my ongoing struggles with anxiety/ mental health issues is far from over. However, my condition remains controlled with the help of my therapy sessions and animals. It’s been a few years now, but I’m now able to return and give back to our world assisting those struggling like I was. I was inspired to start Humanities Herd because I want to provide this form of therapy to others in need. I want to share the gift that I had received, to help others find their path to healing through the holistic and gentle guidance of horses and animals.

During this time, I ended up rescuing and taking in many other animals in need of care, homes and love. Whether sick, abused or injured we turned their lives around. Even though, this has been quite the added expense, our door has always been open to rescuing those in need. Fortunately, we have been able to home, remedy and feed these rescues- in turn they have provided emotional support, loyalty and companionship, making an awesome healing team.

Starting this business is not just a business decision, but a personal mission. I believe in the power of animal assisted therapy, and I am committed to making it accessible to those who need it. I am excited about the journey ahead and the lives we will touch through Humanities Herd Ltd.

Goals of the Facility:

1. Animal rescue and rehabilitation:

This facility will serve as a refuge for animals in need, offering rescue, rehabilitation, purpose and a loving home environment.

2. Holistic well-being therapy programs:

We plan to implement a variety of programs, including equine therapy, animal assisted therapy, and nature based healing activities for individuals facing physical, mental or emotional challenges.

Our Struggle:

In the process of developing and providing this service, several obstacles brought the project to a halt. The municipal bylaw in our community requires a minimum of fifteen acres for livestock housing, necessitating the purchase of a suitable location. However, financial strains from pre COVID startup attempts, combined with the current instabilities in our country’s financial system, have made this endeavor increasingly challenging.

This fundraisers purpose is intended to acquire a suitable facility and start healing our animals and humans in need. We are welcoming donations of funds, farmland property, sponsorships and or Angel investors. We are open to any assistance in making this rescue and rehabilitation therapy accessible and possible. So please do reach out with any advice, support, and necessary guidance.
