Review for Real Life Childrens Ranch Inc, Okeechobee, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Our puppet team was invited to put on a program for all the families. We asked if we could come early and get a tour, and find out more about Real Life Children's Ranch. We were given a wonderful tour, introducing us to the parents, and various staff and volunteers. We were impressed how organized the familes were, how colorful and neat their homes were, how friendly and relaxed the entire atmosphere was. One young man asked us if he could play a piano number for us! We were impressed how the families truly are family! One family was preparing a salad TOGETHER for supper. Everything and everyone was very clean and friendly. Later when we did the puppet program, the participation and enthusiasm from the parents and the children was amazing. We left there VERY IMPRESSED that Real Life Children's Ranch was a safe and happy place!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

not enough ways. We would like to become more involved with Real Life Children's ranch as opportunities in the future arise. We are located an hour from them. We had NO IDEA such a fanastic place existed so close to us.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

encourage Real Life Children's Ranch to expand. The TV news is full of stories of broken homes and painful family events. The children would greatly benefit from being in a home at Real Life children's Ranch, while their parents get the help they need. I would bring in needy, wounded children without any hesitation so they can feel the love and security there.
