about reclaim and rise and how you can support our mission
RECLAIM & RISE WITH SARAH'S HOUSE & WITHERS AND WELLNESS
Withers & Wellness is excited to introduce Reclaim & Rise, a new pilot initiative created in partnership with Sarah’s House. This program offers professionally facilitated, ground-based equine-assisted personal empowerment sessions designed to support individuals experiencing homelessness and significant life transitions. Through guided interaction with horses, participants build confidence, strengthen resilience, and develop practical skills to help them move forward with clarity and purpose.
ALL DONATIONS WILL DIRECTLY SUPPORT RECLAIM AND RISE SESSIONS FOR SARAH'S HOUSE PARTICIPANTS THIS SPRING
Our Mission to Help Sarah's House
This spring 2026, we’re partnering with Sarah’s House to provide equine-assisted personal empowerment sessions for adults experiencing homelessness in our community. We’re grateful for early grant support from the Maryland Horse Industry Board (MHIB) and are now raising funds to sponsor 24 participant spots. Learn more about our mission—and how you can help—below.
Sarah's House Supportive Housing Program
Sarah’s House (Catholic Charities)—a supportive housing program providing emergency shelter, project-based supportive housing, and wraparound services for families experiencing homelessness in Anne Arundel County. Serving up to 125 people daily (about half children), Sarah’s House works to create lasting, positive change and help families move forward.
Help Us Support Those Who Need it Most
How Withers and Wellness is Supporting Sarah's House
This spring 2026, Withers & Wellness, in partnership with Sarah’s House—and partially supported by a generous grant from the Maryland Horse Industry Board (MHIB)—will offer four bi-weekly, 90-minute ground-based equine-assisted personal empowerment sessions, professionally facilitated by EAGALA professionals, with six participants per session (up to 24 total men and women). These experiences provide a safe, supportive space to slow down, reconnect, and strengthen the inner resources and real-world skills that help people move forward.
Families and individuals navigating homelessness carry tremendous uncertainty and stress. They deserve more than survival support—they deserve opportunities for peace, dignity, connection, and personal growth. We’re passionate about this work because it aligns deeply with our mission to unbridle human potential through the mind, body, equine connection—helping people build resilience, restore confidence, and take meaningful steps toward stability and independence.
If you feel called to support this work, we welcome donations of any amount. For corporate sponsorship or full-session sponsorship opportunities, please email: withersandwellness@gmail.com
