Affiliated Funds Update
The two following avenues (LHBH & Fund Recovery) to donate to are third party charities. They are not connected to AFTT in any way financially and all donations made to them go DIRECTLY to LHBH or Fund Recovery. They have partnered with AFTT only in the sense that they have set up a separate account that all donations made for this crisis within “The Truth” go only to survivors who have been victimized by “The Truth”.
Little Hooves and Big Hearts
Little Hooves and Big Hearts (LHBH) current goal is $250,000 which as of today, December 4th, 2023, has received $75,970.94 The founders of LHBH have generously donated the first “Healing with Horses” equine therapy camp for six North American survivors (valued at $9,000). In addition to their generous “Healing with Horses” experience, they have also donated legal services, trauma therapist advisory, and administrative fees directly associated with adding our mission to their charity organization which is a continuous cost that the founders will continue to underwrite due to their hearts and love towards survivors.
During each “Healing with Horses” experience, sex abuse survivors will receive one week of equine therapy. This will include: learning how to utilize coping skills, mindfulness, and developing community all while working with horses. LHBH will be a continuous community and provide sustained support for each survivor that attends a “Healing with Horses” experience. The average cost is $1,500 per person. (Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Donations are needed for lodging, transportation and dinner.) Please consider sponsoring a survivor or an entire camp. This sustained care and survivor community will create a long-lasting healing effect.
Fund Recovery
Fund Recovery’s current goal is $250,000 which as of today, December 4th, 2023 we have received $169,064.64. Through Fund Recovery we have assisted 120 survivors who have been referred to Fund Recovery for a various range of therapeutic services. Via Fund Recovery each survivor has an option to find a provider or have their current provider come in-network for trauma therapy, out-patient and in-patient care. There is an urgent need for a number of the survivors to receive in-patient care. Per the average costs listed below, we have already tapped out the donated funds.
