In June 2004 (with a $1,000 down payment) the Lord opened HOPE Youth Ranch, Inc. allowing us to acquire a 9 acre Horse Ranch in Hudson, FL. From the large oak trees that surround the property like a canopy, to the spacious main house, office building, eighteen stall horse barn, a lighted arena for horse shows, and 2 large pasture areas, everything we needed was in place. What a Miracle!Within a month the home was fully furnished as donations of furniture, household items, food, etc. poured in. On August 16, 2004 the first of many girls arrived at the ranch, we called these first 6 "our pioneers". They have paved the way for so many others. Today we have 14 girls in two homes in our group home program.
There is a desperate need in our community and yours for group homes with therapeutic services for teen girls...HOPE Ranch is our County's only licensed group home with therapeutic services for girls.
