<div><strong>Help Save Echo Ranch</strong>
</div>
<div>A Sanctuary for Rescue Horses, Healing, and Hope
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Echo Ranch is a 72-acre rescue horse farm and therapy nonprofit that has quietly changed lives for over 14 years - offering lifelong sanctuary to abused and neglected horses as well as a place of healing for people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, the land they steward is at risk of being lost forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The church that owns the property has decided to sell and has offered Echo Ranch first right of refusal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To secure the land permanently, Echo Ranch must raise <strong>$4.5 million in just 120 days</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If they cannot, the land will almost certainly be sold and developed - just like much of the surrounding farmland that has already been converted into housing and apartment complexes over the years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once that happens, Echo Ranch cannot be recreated. However, if the goal is not met, all funds will be used to relocate and rebuild, but it will not be in the same community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Echo Ranch Is — and Why It Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>Echo Ranch is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides a safe, peaceful environment where healing can begin - for both horses and people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The ranch is home to rescue horses who survived neglect, abuse, and abandonment. These animals are not rehabilitated and rehomed - they are given the opportunity to live out the rest of their lives receiving consistent care, safety, and dignity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the same time, Echo Ranch serves people facing trauma, addiction recovery, grief, mental health struggles, and deep life transitions. Guests engage in gentle, non-clinical healing through mentorship and connection with the horses whether through grooming, riding, liberty work, or simply being present with these intuitive animals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Programs are offered free of charge so that cost is never a barrier to healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This work is made possible entirely through donations, small fundraisers, and an extraordinary volunteer community of nearly 70 volunteers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Land Is Irreplaceable</strong>
</div>
<div>Echo Ranch isn’t just a program, it’s a place.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>The quiet, open land.
</li>
<li>The established barns and pastures.
</li>
<li>The safe, familiar environment the horses rely on.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If this land is sold, it will almost certainly be developed, as nearby farmland has been over the years. That would mean:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The<strong> permanent loss</strong> of a sanctuary for rescued horses
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Displacement of animals who cannot simply be moved
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The end of a proven healing space for people in need
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There is no comparable property waiting. No easy relocation. No way to rebuild what has taken more than a decade to grow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The People Behind the Ranch</strong>
</div>
<div>Echo Ranch was founded and is led by Dorine and Jake, who have devoted their lives to this mission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They live on the ranch, providing daily care, oversight, and protection for the horses and programs. Echo Ranch isn’t something they commute to, it’s their home and their life’s work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The ranch is entirely volunteer-run, including Jake and Dorine themselves. They took early retirement from paid careers to serve full time and live modestly so this work can continue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Echo Ranch exists not because it is easy or profitable, but because it is deeply needed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Moment Is Urgent</strong>
</div>
<div>This is a <strong>now-or-never opportunity</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If Echo Ranch can raise the funds to purchase the land, the sanctuary will be protected permanently, ensuring that rescued horses always have a safe home and that future generations of people can continue to find healing here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If not, this place will be lost forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Every gift matters - truly.
</div>
<ul>
<li>Donate what you are able
</li>
<li>Share this fundraiser widely
</li>
<li>Tell friends, family, churches, workplaces, and community groups
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Help us reach people who believe places like this should exist. Large goals are met through many small acts of generosity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Final Ask</strong>
</div>
<div>Echo Ranch has spent 14 years quietly serving; without fanfare, without profit, and without giving up when things were hard.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, it needs a community willing to stand with it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help preserve this sanctuary - for the horses who depend on it, for the people who still need healing, and for a piece of land that deserves to remain a place of peace rather than pavement.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in restoration, second chances, and hope.
</div>
<div>❤️
