A Place to Dream is a small horse property owned by my husband, Roberto and me. We decided when we bought the property that it would be
used to help others and dedicated our property to the Lord in hopes of making a difference in the lives of kids of all ages.
Hope 4 Women International holds events at A Place to Dream.
These events are open to homeless and other children at risk.
