Making Great Progress For the Kids
Ramping Up
Of course they also had to take apart the ramp and the stairs bit by bit and pour new concrete footings for each.
Their work was pivotal because this ramp and deck are the only entrance to the special education building which serves kids in wheelchairs and those using braces. Now they have a well built deck that will outlast the harsh Baja sun.

Loma Linda University Speech Therapy
Loma Linda University arrived with 6 speech therapy students, 6 occupational therapy students as well as 4 speech therapy supervisors and an occupational therapy supervisor. We were blessed to have their help.
Alissa and Jodi articulate just how speech therapy works at the ranch and how they, as representatives of Loma Linda University, support and equip families to communicate with their kids. They also train teachers and staff on how best to work with kids needing help with speech and swallowing disorders.

Join Our Prayer Warriors
We had a meaningful first prayer warrior get together in June. Participants learned more about what’s happening behind the scenes at the ranch. We prayed for kids and families in the process of being healed.
We would love to have you join us for the next one. Marlena Sprague will be hosting remotely via Zoom. Next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 7th at 7 pm. (Pacific Time)
If you’re interested in finding out more or know you’d like to be included in her zoom invite. Just reply to this email and I will share your email with her.
Inspired by what we do?
You are invited to partner with us whether that be financially or by coming down to build and repair, or perhaps work with the horses or offer services to the kids. We always have a need for educators, therapists and medical providers. You can email Sue at the address in the footer of this page.
