September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to reflect on the thousands of children impacted by this disease. According to the National Cancer Institute, over 14,000 children ages 0 to 19 will be diagnosed with cancer in the US this year. At Jack’s Helping Hand, we are able to support local families as they navigate the challenges of childhood cancer. While the diagnosis is heartbreaking, we are continually inspired by the unwavering love of families, the generosity of our community, and, most of all, the resilience of these brave children 💚

Meet Nemo, a lovely new pony for our therapeutic riding lessons at the Imagination Park! He is an important addition to our growing herd of lesson horses, and we look forward to lots of fun times ahead with our new friend, Nemo!

The Jack Ready Imagination Park Equestrian Center received a $2,500 grant from AgWest Credit’s Rural Community Grant program, which was used to construct a third horse turnout. This grant supports non-profit organizations in initiatives that enhance rural communities. The new turnout expands the available pasture, enabling our center to accommodate more horses for the Little Riders Adaptive Horseback Riding program. Thank you, @agwestfc 💚

Introducing our new Little Riders Instructor— Peggy!
Peggy Bucquoy joined us this past May as an additional instructor for our Little Riders program.
She brings a full package of experience with her degree from Cal Poly in Animal Science, lots of horse management and riding skills, and a teaching credential in Biology!
She and her family (4 children!) live near the Imagination Park Equine Center, and they have all been very helpful and supportive to us. She has even let her new pony, Nemo, move to the Park as our newest lesson horse!
Peggy is working towards her PATH Certification in therapeutic riding instruction, and we look forward to growing and expanding our therapeutic riding program together!

When a child is diagnosed with a medical condition, families often get hit with a staggering amount of medical jargon, bills, and uncertainty. Jack’s Helping Hand is honored to help families with gas, food, and lodging during these difficult times to ensure children can get to their appointments, families can stay together, and parents can feel more secure. Our Assistance Program is available to any family with a child under 21 with medical needs. Check out our website or call our office for more information!
