THE PROBLEM: LOST CHILDHOODS
Thousands of childhoods are lost to pain, anxiety, sadness, depression, fear and hopelessness. Many children struggle in school and relationships. They sit at home feeling lonely and sad. And many have no friends and no pets.
Some of these children come from broken homes, have abusive parents, or they have a physical disability, cognitive disorder, or extreme anxiety. Yes it’s tragic and sad. And worst of all, we all know an unhealthy childhood can shape an adult life forever.
THE SOLUTION: STORYBOOK FARM
At Storybook, we believe adversity should never stand in the way of a child’s future. Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed and experience the joy of a childhood, filled with hope and possibility.
That’s why we’ve created specialized, high-impact, educational programs that provide the tools and resources that empower children to grow and overcome.
AT THE FARM . . .
Children build relationships with horses and dogs and learn how to care for them. They explore nature, flowers, plants, and trees. They gain reading, math, and science skills. They learn patience and teamwork. And they build confidence, learn responsibility, and improve communication.
BRIGHT FUTURES
When a child finds a community of support at a place like Storybook, they thrive. They find strength and comfort. They learn to cope and heal. They develop courage and self-esteem. They learn to manage relationships. They do better in school. Best of all, their futures become healthy and bright.
