Dear Parent / Guardian:

Thank you for your interest in Horses Healing Hearts. HHH is a 501c3 organization that is dedicated to helping children of alcoholics and addicts build self-esteem and confidence by working with horses. In addition to our curriculum-based support groups we use the horses as a vehicle to teach children empathy, trust, boundaries, and responsibility. Our goal is to end the generational cycle of addiction. Please note HHH is NOT therapy.

Please complete the information below and return to Sharon Smith at sharon@hhhusa.org. Upon review of the attached information, we will contact you regarding the next step in your child becoming a participant in Horses Healing Hearts.

TUITION INFORMATION
HHH works to keep our program fees as low as possible.

Our session expense for each child is $80.00; however, a portion of this amount is subsidized through support of our generous  donors. Consequently, we are able to offer a sliding fee scale so every child has the opportunity to take advantage of our services. No child is turned away due to financial reasons. In order to maintain minimal administrative expenses, each parent/guardian is required to pay their child’s fees by registering for the automated monthly payment system through pay pal.

Financial assistance may be available to those who qualify. To apply for financial assistance, please provide either 2 pay stubs or a tax return. If unemployed, please provide proof of state or county assistance.
