Imagine a place where a nonverbal child on the autism spectrum can tell a horse to "walk-on".
Imagine a place where a woman who uses a wheelchair can use a horse's legs to move around instead of her own. Imagine a place where a horse will stop in his tracks and refuses to move until his rider's seizure has passed. |

Dear The Right Step, Inc. Supporters:
First and foremost, we hope you are staying well! The Right Step, Inc. is following the the closure of the local school districts and will now temporarily suspend all lessons until at least April 30. It will help slow the spread of COVID-19 and protect our clients, volunteers, staff, and community.
In the meantime, our horses still need care. A limited number of staff and volunteers are feeding, watering, and exercising our horses daily while maintaining social distancing and following recommended guidelines for hand washing and cleaning and disinfecting all surfaces and equipment. Although lessons are on hold, the cost of maintaining our herd does not pause. It costs us about $1,000 each month to purchase feed, shavings, hay, and supplements for Challenger, Splash, and FredBob. There are several small ways that you can help us care for our amazing horses.
1. Choose The Right Step, Inc. as your charitable organization on Amazon Smile.
When you do your Amazon shopping, go to Amazon Smile instead! At no cost to you, 0.5% of your purchase will be donated to us. Visit https://smile.amazon.com/ and select 'Right Step Inc. Littleton CO' when prompted. To change from another charity, go to Your Account then select option to Change Your Charity and select 'Right Step Inc. Littleton CO.'
2. Register your King Soopers loyalty card.
We earn donations by having you register and use your loyalty card-at no cost to you! The more members and supporters that sign up, the greater our donation will be. Create or sign in to your account at https://www.kingsoopers.com/signin and look for Community Rewards under My Account. Search for 'The Right Step Inc.' and select to support TRS.
3. Donate monthly.
We rely on the generosity of individual donors to keep our program running. Monthly donations allow us to budget better and provide a more consistent source of income. It is also easy for donors to set it and forget it! Visit our page on Colorado Gives and under 'Donation Frequency' select 'Recurring' and enter the details. Even $25/month helps us provide a small portion of the necessary care for our horses. We need only 48 people donating $25/month to cover our horse care each month!
We are all in this together and with your help, we can keep our herd happy and healthy and ready for lessons to begin again! Stay home, stay safe, and thank you for your support of The Right Step, Inc.
Best wishes,
Lena Masri
Development Director and Instructor
