There are more than 3,200 children in foster care in Southwest Missouri . Imagine if you were a child that due to circumstances out of your control you were removed from your home and taken away from parents, siblings, your school and friends. Children who are foster care experience many emotions and challenges. Too often, children in foster care move from one home to another which often times makes it difficult for children to concentrate on school, build friendships and family relationships, heal from trauma, and feel secure and loved.
That is where Hooves and Paws for a Cause comes in to give children a sense of personal control, build self-confidence, build leadership skills and a sense of belonging through their Equine Guided Learning Programs.
