SINGAPORE RANCH OF HOPE FOUNDATION

    We are a nonprofit youth ranch, that is a safe haven, in a theraputic yet fun environment built for youth of all ages.We focus on children that have been traumatized and / or abandoned, children that have been left behind and forgotten.We help them build their self-esteem, self-confidence and self-worth as well as give them a safe and secure environment they can learn to trust others in again, without worry of anything. These children are often misunderstood and disregarded, as well as told "oh, get over it, don't worry you will grow out of it." A lot of time the feelings of kids is disregarded as kids stuff, then you wonder why they start acting out. The parents don't consider they are just like us just smaller. Children need help mentally and emotionally sometimes also depending on what they are going through. The thing is they don't understand why they are having those feelings and no one is explaining it. Either the parents are non-existent or on drugs or going through their own emotional and mental issues that they were never taught how to properly handle either. These are all things that can and will fundamentally change a child, as far as who they are and where they end up as adults. Their destiny will be totally changed unless someone notices and helps them. Our Ranch is geared just for them, most places for kids don't think about how kids need to be just kids sometimes and play and have fun. We include equine therapy and animal therapy and outdoor therapy, ( animal therapy is just what ever the kids favorite animal is , because it's their favorite, because it makes them happy and that is our goal to bring out the sadness and anger and bring happiness and joy, outdoor therapy is like fishing, camping, gardening etc.) We will have our own school house and library once the property is built. We will have a gym and play area and picnic area. We are built to heal heart and mind without medication unless the onsite psychologist says they need it. We will have counselers onsite 24/7 for the kids. They will talk or listen and also just sit by them if they just want or need someone there. We will have weekly learning and fun outings, and a whole lot more, this will be a place the kids will like and not want to run from. They will feel wanted and cherished and like they belong. The emptiness inside them will go away and they will be able to once again follow forgotten dreams and hopes. At the completion of their program on graduation day they will receive a small money grant to cover first, last and deposit. To ensure they start out stable so they can have a fair start in life and not end up homeless.                Hello I'm Angela the Founder of the ranch, this is something I have been wanting to do for a long time. I know there are facilities for children, and group homes, and shelters aplenty all over the United States but this ranch is going to be a little different. You see I understand what these kids are going through because I was one of these kids abandoned at 14 to live on my own , misunderstood etc. I raised myself homeless and ended up in and out of jails and institutions because no one knew how to help me. I went from group home to shelters and didn't get my life together until my late 20s early 30s , this ranch is going to change things and how people that run similar places run their places because this program is going to work better than any other program. The results will be amazing because, this program will have individual programs each child will have a different program to get through after their assessment. That will be geared to their needs alone.
