The mission of Amy's Wish with Wings is to provide equine assisted therapy activities for children with special needs. Children with special needs includes, but is not limited to, autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, brain injuries, victims of abuse, vision impaired, balance issues and selective mutism. These children can benefit from the movement of the horse to stimulate the riders' vestibular system. The response of the balance signals, voluntary movement and speech is due to the horse providing the movement to mimic walking in a human as an alternative therapy. Children can quickly gain self esteem and can learn sequential tasks as well as build stonger gross and fine motor skils through equine therapy. Our instructors are trained and certified through various organizations.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
