A small yet growing local community of clients, including adults with Alzheimer’s and neurological trauma and talented young artists on the Autism Spectrum. Patti McDonald's vision is to build a Cincinnati-based Healing Center where trained and paid practitioners work side-by-side with passionate volunteers to support many, many clients… young and old… who delight in the creative process of this therapeutic art enrichment program. ​The therapy is not covered by traditional insurance and families facing neurological challenges rarely have the available resources for this ongoing form of therapy. That is why Art With Intention was created.

Healing with Horseplay is an animal protection and welfare organization that rescues animals, primarily horses, that are abused, neglected or to be sent to slaughter and then rehabilitates them. After training them they will be sold to private owners with happy homes for the animals and then will use the proceeds to start the cycle over with new animals, or they will become part of the equine-assisted learning programs.

Youth With Faces gives youth in the juvenile justice system a second chance to be more than a faceless statistic. We all know making poor choices is part of growing up. But for incarcerated youth, the poverty and dysfunction that led to their mistakes create a cycle of crime difficult for any teen to overcome alone. This is why we are here, every day without fail, with respect, accountability and belief in their potential. We help Dallas County youth change doing time into a time to learn and practice critical character lessons and work skills. As a result, they significantly reduce their chances of returning to custody and can build a new identity – as a capable young person with a contribution to make.
