Save Satin the Therapy Horse
Tax deductible
Please help us save our beloved therapy horse, Satin. Satin has helped hundreds of people over the years as a therapy horse through Helping Hands Healing Sanctuary. On a weekly basis, she and her horse partner Elegance team up with a therapist to heal kids and adults that are dealing with a variety of mental health issues such as trauma, suicide, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Many of these therapy sessions are provided free of cost to help those who are in most need. Now she needs your help!
On Wednesday evening, Satin suddenly became sick with colic and had to be taken to OSU Veterinary Hospital. Emergency exploratory surgery revealed that she had multiple benign cysts growing in her abdomen, one of them blocking her small intestine. The wonderful surgical staff at OSU spent hours in the middle of the night removing the cysts, and Satin woke up from surgery and stood up on Thursday morning. The cause of these slow-growing cysts is unknown, but it can happen to many horses across the board, and would have been impossible to know they were there without exploratory surgery. Satin survived surgery and is now standing on four feet, but her recovery process will be long. She has many obstacles to overcome and her veterinary bills are being estimated between $15,000 to $20,000. Because Helping Hands is a non-profit, we count on grants and donations to help us meet the needs of the therapy horses. All donations are 100% tax-deductible. We are raising funds to be able to provide her with the very best veterinary care at OSU, giving her a strong chance to survive and recover.
Thank you in advance for your contribution to help this very special horse who has done so much to help others. Please donate to Satin’s cause so that she can continue her recovery. Once recovered, she will be able to continue her work as a therapy horse. She has so much more to give, and so many years yet to live if we just give her the chance. Every little bit counts! Please don’t hesitate to give even a small amount, if you are able. Thoughts and prayers for a fast and easy healing process are also very much appreciated. Thank you again for donating to help Satin's recovery!
