🌟 Keeping Hope is back and brighter than ever! 🌟
We're turning up the color, the connection, and the community spirit at this year’s Keeping Hope event.

💜 This day is all about remembering with love and celebrating recovery with hope — because even in the toughest times, our community shines.

🎨 KIDS TIE-DYE FOR FREE!
That’s right — bring the littles and let them swirl, sq**rt, and splatter their way to a one-of-a-kind shirt. It’s messy. It’s colorful. It’s tradition.

📅 Saturday, August 30
⏰ 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
📍 The Salvation Army
1555 LPGA Blvd, Daytona Beach, FL 32117

Expect fun, healing, resources, and maybe a few colorful hands. Whether you come to remember a loved one or to stand in support of recovery — this day is for you.

🎉 Celebrating 2 Years of Dani at VRA! 🎉

For the past two years, Dani has been a fierce advocate for our participants navigating one of the toughest barriers... the exemption process. She doesn’t just explain the steps, she walks beside them through every document, every call, and every moment of doubt. And when the system doesn’t make sense, Dani speaks up. Loudly. Clearly. And always with heart. 💪📄❤️

She’s our training coordination guru, the behind-the-scenes wizard who keeps everything organized and on track. But here’s the real kicker: Dani willingly takes on the stuff most people avoid at all costs: documentation, data entry, spreadsheets, and all things computer-related. While the rest of us break out in a cold sweat over a shared drive folder, Dani is already two steps ahead, fixing it.

Dani, thank you for bringing your brain, heart, and unshakable work ethic to this team every single day. VRA wouldn’t be the same without you! 💙👏

At Life Reins, we see it every day—clients walk into the arena carrying stress, anxiety, and emotional heaviness… and leave feeling grounded, connected, and calm.

Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) isn’t just peaceful—it’s proven.
Working alongside horses helps regulate the nervous system, lower blood pressure, and support healing from trauma.

🐴 It’s more than time at the barn.
It’s transformation.

We had such a great time connecting with everyone at the Neighborhood Center yesterday! 💜

This one’s for the dads. The stepdads. The uncles, mentors, grandfathers, and father figures who show up day in, and day out.

The Fatherhood Fiesta is a full day to celebrate what it really means to be a father while enjoying it with the people who matter most.

We’ll have real conversations in workshops built for men—around parenting, legal rights, health, and balance. We’ll have a Kids’ Zone packed with games and activities to give you and your kids time to just be together. There’s a Resource Fair where you can connect with people who can offer support in a variety of areas.

And of course, there will be live music, good food, and entertainment to keep the energy up all day long.

This fiesta is a reminder: Fatherhood should be celebrated.

And you’re not in it alone.

Bring your kids. Bring your crew. Join us in celebrating fatherhood, family, and everything that matters with the people who do too.
