Over $6300 Raised For Equi Evolution

Over $6300 has been raised to help rebuild Rehoboth's Equi Evolution and Remembrance Hill Carriages after a February 13 fire devastated the facility on Slater Street.

A Go Fund Me page was launched in an effort to raise $20,000. As of Monday, 109 donors have contributed. Equi Evolution is an equine-facilitated learning program offering therapeutic mental health services and equine-assisted activities, according to the page.

"While it is truly a blessing that all of our horses survived this horrific fire, we realized early yesterday afternoon that not all were injury free,” said organizer Sam Nicole. “One of our geldings, Mr. B. appears to have whacked his head in the rush to escape and has a facial fracture and several abrasions around his eye. At this point it is looking like he will need surgery to clean out bone fragments and save his eye. This is by no means a minor procedure and we continue to ask for your help as the costs associated with this catastrophe are mounting rapidly. Thank you all for your continued support."

Another event to raise money to help build a new shelter for the animals will be held February 22nd and 23rd, at Barre and Moon Fitness in Rehoboth where the money paid for class those days will be donated.
