Tammy and Koby Wolf, the founders and managers of "Pinuki Ranch", provide therapeutic riding for special needs youth, striving to encourage their optimal integration into society while advancing their skills on the personal and social side.
Since 2015, the ranch has been providing individual sessions to the students of ‘Lotem’ school, a regional high-school for low-functioning autistic youth. Up until recently, this project had been funded by welfare governmental budget and donations, with no charge to the parents or the school.
Unfortunately, since the recent war in Israel, governmental support has completely ceased and donations have all but halted. Yet, Tammy and Kobi continue the riding sessions for 16 ‘Lotem’ students at the expense of their ranch.
There are about 100 students at ‘Lotem’ who are highly distressed from the security situation in the region. The riding sessions at our ranch allow them a small island of sanity.
The cost of each therapy session is 180 ILS per individual. We aspire to return and provide sessions to all ‘Lotem’ students as once before. This is a total cost of 720,000 ILS (approximately USD 200,000) per year.
Each donation would give these children another riding session and a sprinkle of tranquility in the chaotic reality of their daily life.
We would appreciate any donation so we can keep running this special project.
