[from DreamPower Director Martha McNiel]
"I can no other answer make but thanks and thanks and ever thanks." - William Shakespeare
On October 18, when I announced a goal of raising $25,000 by Oct. 31, I could see shock and disbelief and panic on people's faces. DreamPower had never raised that much money in such a short period of time. But the truth is, 2025 has been the most difficult year DreamPower has ever faced financially, and we needed that much money to pay all the bills and get through October. I didn't know if it was possible or not, but that is the amount we needed. Every night before I went to sleep, I reminded God that we needed $25,000 by Oct. 31 and I begged Him to provide it. And you are the answers to my prayers. Thank you.
THANK YOU to everyone who:
- donated money
- shared our need
- attended "I LUV DreamPower" on Oct. 18
- asked friends and family to attend with you
- donated items for the raffle
- asked your family members to donate
- asked your co-workers to donate
- asked your employers to donate
- sponsored a horse
- asked someone else to sponsor a horse
- shared our posts on social media
- and shared your love for DreamPower in so many, many ways.
Including money that is promised and yet to come, and matching donations from employers yet to come, and horse sponsors donating throughout the coming year, we raised $34,605 by Oct. 31. I have no words except THANK YOU! This will allow DreamPower to pay all the bills and fill the hay barn. A full load of hay will be arriving Nov. 11.
Thank you for continuing to support our efforts to bring love and healing and light into a sad and broken world. Your support of our efforts is the only reason we can continue. When the donations stop, the services also stop. But you showed in an overwhelming way, it's time to keep going. THANK YOU!
