Porter's Corner of Hope and Healing
Porter's Story
Porter has Coffin-Siris Syndrome, and his journey is the heart behind why Porter’s Corner was created.
From a very young age, animals played a meaningful role in Porter’s healing. Horses, especially, became a source of calm, confidence, and connection. Long before therapy had a name, the bond between Porter and animals was already helping him grow and thrive in ways words often cannot.
Seeing the impact animal interaction had on Porter showed us just how powerful animal-assisted therapy can be. Porter’s Corner exists to share that same comfort, growth, and hope with others who need it.
Porter’s Corner is a place of connection, healing, and hope. We firmly believe that healing happens best together. At Porter’s Corner, our animals bring comfort, connection, and hope, helping families and communities grow stronger. We celebrate the limitless potential of children—their dreams, ambitions, and the bright futures they’re building! At Porter’s Corner, we believe every child holds the power to change the world.
Purpose of the Non-Profit Organization
Raising Awareness for Coffin-Siris Syndrome
Coffin-Siris syndrome is a rare, congenital genetic disorder. Just a few symptoms that affected individuals may display include an abnormally small or large head in addition to other malformed facial features. Infants and children with CSS may have short pinky fingers and toes or other abnormalities in those areas. The children may have difficulty feeding and suffer from frequent respiratory infections during infancy. The specific symptoms and severity can vary among individuals.
Porter's Corner is a place of refuge for not only individuals with developmental disabilities but also veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and others who are dealing with grief or loss. We offer a unique animal-based approach to therapy for children of all ages by taking the animals to where they are needed.
