About JESSE’S PLACE FOUNDATION
Location:
6505 GRIFFITH LAKE DR, MILFORD, DE 19963, US
Mission Statement
Jesse's Place Foundation, a 501 (C)(3) nonprofit corporation serves children of all ages in or from the Foster Care system who have suffered trauma by helping to build self esteem and self worth through using rescued horses and rescued therapy dogs.
Description
Jesse's Place was preceded by another nonprofit that I founded and successfully operated for over 12 years which utilized rescued horses to help in recovery of PTSD people of all ages. I retired that nonprofit in order to become a therapeutic foster mom. Now some years later I have begun Jesse's Place using rescue horses and therapeutic service dogs to bring hope and healing to foster kids.
Our programs are age and ability appropriate and include team and confidence building activities with the horses and therapy dogs along with art, music and drama therapy. Each young person who attends will have an Individualized Program geared specifically his or her own unique needs.
