The Wild Heart Vision:
An Invitation to Partner with And Still I Rise Foundation
"If we focus on war, we become paralyzed. If we focus on an individual, an animal, or a family, not only do we change their lives we change our own." Tony Robbins
Where Love Meets Action: Our Global Footprint
We are a precise, responsive organization providing short-term, crisis-based support to the most neglected corners of the world. With intentional care and zero waste, we have delivered over $29,722.50 in direct, measurable aid across four continents.
Gaza
Multiple families receiving food, rent assistance, medicine, and emergency care amid some of the most devastating conditions on Earth.

Rise For Animals
Livestock owners receiving food parcels to sustain the working animals who are the economic lifeline of their families and communities.
Uganda
60+ children supported through orphanage programs, receiving nutrition, care, education, and the simple, profound dignity of being seen.
Amitola Farm
Our 8-acre healing sanctuary in Indiana, where animals, land, and community come together to restore the human spirit.
Scholarships
Empowering survivors of trauma and hardship with access to education, healing programs, and skill-building opportunities.
From the Ashes to Global Impact
Sometimes the most powerful movements begin in the quietest resolve, born not from boardrooms, but a decision to rise, and an unshakeable commitment to use those experiences for something greater.
✦ The Spark
Born from a personal journey through abuse and the long, courageous road back to self-worth, this foundation was built on the truth that survival can become a calling.
✦ The Sanctuary
Founded in 2019 on the 8-acre Amitola Care Farm in Indiana, a living sanctuary where healing happens in the presence of animals, land, and community.
✦ The Growth
Frustrated by traditional grant red-tape, we built a self-sustaining movement, growing a community of 50,000 YouTube subscribers who believe in this work.
✦ The Team
A 100% volunteer team of those who have walked through their own fires, and now walk beside those still fighting to survive.
Our 100% Model
Inspired by the Charity Water model, our financial commitment is simple, unshakeable, and revolutionary: every single public dollar goes directly to the field. No exceptions.
How the Model Works
100% of public donations
Go directly to families, children, and animals in need, no administrative deductions, no middlemen, no wasted dollars.
Zero bureaucracy
Our lean, volunteer-powered model eliminates the overhead that erodes impact at so many organizations.
The Strategic Ask
We seek visionary partners to cover modest operational costs, protecting the promise that every public dollar reaches those who need it most.

We Have Outgrown Our Borders
Our 8-acre farm has been a sacred starting point, a place of refuge, healing, and transformation. But the need has grown far beyond what our current land can hold. The vision is pressing forward, and our resources must grow to meet it.
The Current Reality
Our farm currently hosts 6 rescued miniature horses, 6 mini donkeys, and 7 angora goats for therapeutic experiences, but animals were never meant to be confined to small pens.
Every year, perfectly healthy horses, donkeys, and wild mustangs are sold into the slaughter pipeline, simply because there is nowhere safe for them to go.
The need is greater than our resources. The vision is greater than our current means. And the time to act is now as thousands of wild horses are being captured to sell American land.
The Urgent Gap
Acres Today
Current farm capacity, a sanctuary that has already changed lives
Acres Needed
To build the Wild Heart Healing Ranch and rescue horses from slaughter
The Wild Heart Healing Ranch
As we step into the Year of the Horse, we are scaling our impact with intention and urgency. We are seeking funding to acquire a minimum of 300 acres to build a fully inclusive healing sanctuary - a place where the wild and the wounded can find safety, space, and wholeness together.
A Haven for Wild Mustangs
Rescued wild mustangs running free across open land living in safety, dignity, and the freedom they were born to inhabit.
Trauma-Informed Retreats
Immersive, nature-based workshops and retreats grounded in trauma-informed practice — where humans and animals heal side by side.
Holistic Healing Therapies
Animal-assisted healing, sound therapy, silent writing retreats, and somatic practices — woven together into a comprehensive path toward restoration.
Rise With Us: An Invitation to Partner
When you partner with And Still I Rise Foundation, you are doing far more than meeting an immediate need — you are reaching into the depths of someone's heart and soul, and offering them the first light they may have seen in years. We are seeking strategic, visionary partners to support three foundational pillars.
Fund Operational Excellence
Cover the costs of grant writers, administrative support, and accountancy services, protecting our 100% model so that every public dollar continues to flow directly to those in need.
Sustain Crisis Support
Provide tents, blankets, mattresses, and monthly food allowances to the next families waiting in crisis, in USA, Gaza, Uganda, Bangladesh, and beyond.
Build the Dream
Secure the 300-acre plus land to build the Wild Heart Healing Ranch, a permanent, living testament to what is possible when vision meets shared vision and generosity.
The World Changes One Ripple at a Time
"If you believe no child should be hungry, no woman should feel alone, no family should be forgotten, and no animal should suffer unnoticed, we invite you to join our movement to offer help and hope to one person, animal and family at a time."
This is more than a funding opportunity. It is an invitation to be part of a living, breathing movement of love in action. Every partnership, every gift, every conversation creates a ripple that travels further than we can see.
With all our love and gratitude,
Katie Wyatt & Team ASIRF
