My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a volunteer with Save the Horses and have had the great benefit of seeing their work up close and personally for many months now. The amount of incredibly dedicated people working to help these animals have a healthy and steady existence is truly inspiring. They honestly never stop; going above and beyond no matter how many hours or how much energy or how many new cases arise. No animal goes uncared for when Save the Horses is involved. I'm amazed at how well the group of people come together, led so well by Cheryl Flanagan. Their hearts are the biggest I know!

When our three-year-old son Gavin was diagnosed with Restrictive Cardiomyopathy in 2019, we felt the wave of questions wash over us as we endeavored to understand this new diagnosis. Gavin had already gone through four open heart surgeries to correct multiple CHDs, and was pacemaker reliant his entire short life thus far. But things seemed to be on the upswing for our strong little guy, and a new diagnosis at this point was a bit daunting to say the least.
It was our physicians who pointed us towards Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation, as they knew this organization was full not only of helpful resources and detailed information for studying and better understanding this condition, but also with a community of families walking through similar journeys. For us, it has been the combination of endless resources available via their website, as well as this strong community of support, that has proven to be most helpful for our family. Having others share their personal stories - seeing alignment in what they've experienced and learning from questions that they ask - has been really eye-opening for us as we walk this path. And of course, knowing that there are others advocating for greater research into these conditions gives us hope for the future as well.
