Forever Amber Acres was chosen to take part in a national fundraiser in the month of May. Every penny donated to the org stays right there to help the programs that promote humans and horses healing together. It's a mission to promote the mental health of anyone who needs it. In particular, veterans and first responders.

Michele Bolinger started the horse rescue on an 11.5-acre farm.
