How to Help
All funds raised by the foundation are used to help children with serious illnesses.
Every year, more than 200 children with special needs undergo rehabilitation at our Center.
Many children are unable to attend hippotherapy sessions due to the lack of financial resources in their families.
Children with diagnoses such as cerebral palsy, autism, developmental delays, and Down syndrome often grow up in single-parent families and require constant care, while the cost of rehabilitation is critically high.
Hippotherapy helps these children improve their physical health and quality of life, develop social skills, and become more independent.
In today’s world of constant stress and overload, interaction with horses brings joy, emotional relief, and healing to children.
I am Ganna Burago, the Head of the Spirit Rehabilitation Center, and I am personally reaching out to you with a request to support the Hippotherapy project in any way that is convenient for you.
Support can be provided through a donation to our account or by helping with hay, feed, firewood, or other essential needs. We also require financial assistance to purchase equipment and cover operational expenses.
We are grateful for any form of support. Upon request, we can provide financial reports. We are also open to placing your company’s banner on our website so our visitors can learn about you.
We invite you to join us in helping children in need.
We will regularly keep you informed about the progress of the project. You will also receive feedback from parents, as well as photos of children during their hippotherapy sessions.
All funds transferred by you are used exclusively for their intended purpose — to organize and conduct rehabilitation sessions for children.
Not a single hryvnia is transferred to third parties or spent outside the purpose of the donation.
Maintaining the horses and supporting the program requires constant funding.
The cost of rehabilitation for one child is approximately 6,000 UAH for a course of 10 sessions.
