February 2024 Happenings

February was Black History Month!

Last month was Black History Month, a time to honor the achievements, resilience, and contributions of Black individuals throughout history. This month provided an opportunity for education, celebration, and reflection, highlighting the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in our society. Throughout the month, we commemorated the remarkable journey of Black leaders, activists, artists, and trailblazers who have shaped history and continue to inspire us today. From civil rights icons like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks to cultural pioneers like Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes, their legacies continue to resonate across generations, reminding us of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality.

Surprise Party for Chloe!

On February 15th, HHY came together to pull off a spectacular surprise party for our CEO, Chloe who is embarking on a new chapter in her journey. As she walked into the venue, her face lit up with sheer astonishment and joy, capturing the essence of the moment. Throughout the afternoon, it evolved into a celebration not only of Chloe’s remarkable tenure but also of the camaraderie and friendship woven throughout the agency. As we bid farewell, we also embraced the dawn of a new era, brimming with excitement and anticipation for the future. While we will deeply miss her presence, Chloe’s legacy will endure, continuing to inspire and guide us through the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Exciting News from Martin Federal!

We’re excited to share that Martin Federal has generously donated gift cards to our organization! Their support will directly benefit our cause and the individuals we serve. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to them for their generosity and commitment to making a positive impact in our community. Together, we’re making a difference!

Equine-Assisted Therapy: Empowering Youth to Thrive!

Our youth engage in unique therapy classes combining equine interaction with therapeutic techniques. These classes offer a safe space to explore emotions, build confidence, and develop essential life skills through hands-on activities like grooming and riding. This experience is tailored to the specific needs of our kids, whether they’re working through trauma, anxiety, behavioral challenges, or simply seeking personal growth. By harnessing the healing bond between humans and horses, we empower youth to overcome obstacles, discover their strengths, and thrive.

We Appreciate the Donation!

We extend our deepest gratitude to Ticket to Dream Foundation and Victoria’s Secret for their generous donation of essential items to the children we serve. It’s important to remember that some of these children lack even the most basic necessities. This donation will make a profound difference in their lives, and we are truly honored and grateful for the opportunity to partner with such compassionate organizations. Thank you for your commitment to supporting our community’s most vulnerable members.
