Make a difference with several different donation levels and options
By connecting with animals and nature, kids will learn and grow in a safe and judgment-free environment, empowered to achieve their fullest potential and create waves of generational change in their community and families.
The children in our community need us NOW.
- Children under age 18 are disproportionately affected by poverty and make up 33% of all people in poverty.
- Living in low-income household is linked to increased risk for emotional and mental health problems that can persist across a child's life span, affecting their education and occupational success. Despite this higher need for health services low-income children and families are least likely to access quality care.
- 1 in 6 children in the Northern Nevada and Tahoe area are living in poverty- leaving an estimated 31,000 children at risk in our community.
- 60% of these kids who need the most help WILL NOT get help without nonprofits like Rescued Hearts Ranch.
- 70% of the prison population in the US has been in Foster care. Only 3% of children who have interacted with Child Protective Services go on to graduate from college. The cycle of unmet emotional and mental health needs continues from generation-to-generation.
- Nevada has ranked 47th in the country for child well-being, and 51st for overall mental health. El Dorado County (South Lake Tahoe) consistently ranks poorly in cases of Child & Youth Safety, including mental health, abuse, neglect, and the number in Foster Care compared to the rest of California.
