My Nonprofit Reviews

Since covid, we had been struggling. I quit my job to stay home with kids, which meant losing our insurance. We don't qualify for medicaid, I think we were $10 over the income limit, yet we couldn't afford insurance because of medical debt due to me having a chronic illness.
We finally found a plan with no deductible which would make it possible to obtain, but it was crappy insurance and one Mitchie's therapist was not contracted with. Mitchie had gone through plenty of therapist, having bad relationships with them all until we found this one.
This was my tipping point. I got into the mind space of "nothing good ever happens toy family," and became severely depressed. My eight year old was suicidal, and there was no one to help her.
Then I received a call from her care coordinator informing us that she had been awarded a grant from the Reno Rodeo foundation dor mental health service and ASD equine therapy. I wasn't even aware she had been submitted for consideration, this was the best surprise I received in a long time!
As a kid growing up, going to the rodeo was a tradition for my whole family. We would go almost every night and it was something I wanted to pass down and do with my kids, with money being tight we just couldn't afford "fun" stuff. The Reno Rodeo foundation gifted us with tickets to the Rodeo as well, and finally I was able to watch my kids have the same experience I once had.
Mitchie has been doing so much better and I wouldn't have been able to do it without the help from the Reno Rodeo Foundation.
Now that Mitchie is in a good place, I've been able to get my life in order and our entire household has been doing much better. I can't thank them enough!!
