Pediatric Stroke Awareness
Spreading awareness is an amazing way for people everywhere to learn about the Pediatric stroke. Early diagnosis and treatment of Pediatric Stroke will drastically alter a child's ability to survive and thrive in their life.
Little Patch of Heaven Sanctuary strives to create a safe space for all children, teens and adults to find healing and peace by using the ancient ways of tending to the earth and her creatures.
Arianna
I am Strong, Resilient, Clever and I love Helping Rescue Animals
When Arianna was about 6 months old her parents could tell something was impacting her ability to use her right hand. Her right hand was kept in a fist and she would not utilize it.
Arianna received an MRI which detected that she survived a stroke in utero and was also diagnosed with cerebral palsy. After diagnosis, Arianna started therapy immediately and she has come very far in her journey.
Arianna's journey has required her to summon inexplicable amount of inner strength - she is the true definition of a warrior!
You can always find Arianna brushing the animals, cleaning stalls and cages or helping a new rescue transition into their new life. It takes a truly gifted person to give out the amount of love Arianna does to each animal. Thank you, Ari!

Arianna's Journey at Little Patch
"When we first started at the farm, she was feeling sad! Noticing different things about herself, and we wanted to help her. So we heard about Blazing Saddles (LPHS) and I contacted them to see if we can volunteer.
They welcomed us with open arms and we started volunteering and noticed such an amazing change. She was so much happier. She went to the farm once or twice a week to help volunteer with her sister and myself. She goes in there, picks up those rakes, shovels the poop, talks to the animals and sometimes bosses people around. we are truly thankful for everyone at this amazing farm.
Our family has always loved spreading awareness and helping local nonprofit organizations. So in 2023 we raised money to go to the animals at the farm, and now for 2024 we will be having a first annual special event in honor of pediatric stroke awareness to give back to those beautiful animals that helped my daughter build her confidence back up.
They are nonprofit is called Little patch Of Heaven sanctuary and we are truly blessed to be part of this amazing nonprofit organization." - Patricia
