Hope rises because of people like you. ❤️🐴🇺🇸

Veterans come to the farm carrying invisible wounds from trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and the challenges of returning to civilian life. Through the healing connection with the rescue horses , they find a safe place to reconnect, process, and begin to heal.

Today, we need your help.

Our Veteran Scholarship Fund, which provides free Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy for veterans, has been nearly exhausted. We currently have veterans waiting to begin services, but without additional funding, we may not be able to provide the care they deserve.

Your donation—no matter the amount—directly helps a veteran access life-changing mental health services at no cost to them.
Together, we can ensure that no veteran is turned away because of financial hardship.

If our mission speaks to you, please consider making a donation today or sharing this post to help us reach others who believe in supporting those who have served.

💙 Every dollar brings hope. Every donation changes a life.
Donate today at www.operationhopenj.com or send us a message to learn more about sponsoring a veteran’s healing journey.

June... you were so good to us. 🌿✨

From hosting networking events that brought incredible people together, to attending meaningful luncheons & panel discussions alongside community leaders, facilitating equine-assisted demonstrations with Rutgers and Monmouth University, and creating peaceful sound bowl healing experiences…this month was filled with purpose, connection, and growth.

In between it all, we continued doing what matters most: showing up for our clients, whether at the farm, virtually, or in the park-and providing compassionate, individualized care every step of the way. 🫶

We’re incredibly grateful for all that June brought: new relationships, meaningful collaborations, opportunities to serve, and countless moments of hope and healing.

Here’s to carrying that momentum into July and embracing all that’s ahead. 🌊

Healing isn’t always talking.

Sometimes it’s connecting.
Sometimes it’s resting.
Sometimes it’s spending an evening with friends or family.
Sometimes it’s trying something new.
Sometimes it’s simply allowing yourself to be.

✨ Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Sound Bowl Healing experience at the farm this evening. We are so grateful you chose to spend your evening with us. It was an honor to share such a peaceful and restorative experience together.

We can’t wait to bring you more thoughtfully curated events that nurture connection, wellness, and hope. 💚🌿

Thank you for your beautiful soundbowl healing 🥣
for your thoughtful crearive art expression 🎨
for the delicious refreshments 🌊
for sharing your beautiful space and incredible rescue herd with us

✨Thank You✨

Keeping the rescue horses we partner with comfortable and cared for during the summer heat is so important, and we are incredibly grateful to the people who helped make that possible. 🤍🐴

A huge thank you to Kimberly Lorah, owner of Blossom Coaching for donating one of the fans! We are so grateful that the funds raised through our sound bowl event were able to go toward helping provide this important resource for the horses. 🥣

We also want to thank our anonymous donor who donated another fan and generously provided the labor to help install the fans in the horses’ paddocks. Your generosity and hard work will help the horses stay cool, comfortable, and happy throughout the warmer months. 🫶

Thank you as well to Lowe’s for donating the third fan, and to Billy Goldman from Gold Wire Electric for completing the electrical work needed to make this possible. We appreciate the care and support that went into keeping the horses safe and comfortable.

The horses are such an important part of the healing work we do, and their partnership allows equine-assisted therapy to continue making an impact for our clients. Thank you to everyone who helps us care for them. 🤍

The rescue farm we partner with in Freehold is looking for volunteers! 🐴🤍

It takes a community of caring people to help support these animals, and we would love to welcome volunteers to join us. These horses are such an important part of what makes equine assisted psychotherapy possible. Through their partnership, patience, and dedication, they help create meaningful healing experiences for our clients every day.

Volunteer opportunities include helping with morning feedings at 8:00 AM and dinner feedings around 4:00 PM for the horses and cats.

If you’re interested in spending time with animals, giving back, and being part of something meaningful, we’d love to have you!

Please reach out to Lisa, the owner of the rescue farm, for more information and details:
📞 (732) 245-1260

Thank you for helping us continue caring for these incredible animals and supporting the mission behind this work. 🤍
