Udruga FALA do danas je od sigurne smrti spasila 11 konja (ne uključujući one koji su prošli kroz naš sustav skrbi). Od osnutka 2011. godine, isprva 7, a danas 5 konja svakodnevno i aktivno sudjeluju u terapijskim, rekreativnim i edukativnim programima Udruge FALA, donoseći radost, podršku i snagu djeci, mladima i odraslima.

Kroz terapijsko jahanje i boravak s konjima, djeca postaju sretnija, zdravija, aktivnija i – ono najvažnije – razvijaju se u samopouzdane, empatične i sjajne osobe. Konji pomažu djeci s poteškoćama, mladima i odraslima u savladavanju osobnih „prepreka“, uz podršku članova, volontera i iskusnih voditelja, koji svojim znanjem, iskustvom i predanošću stoje iza svakog programa Udruge.

FALA nije samo mjesto za terapije – to je zajednica. Zajednica ljudi i životinja povezanih povjerenjem, odgovornošću i ljubavlju. Naši konji su ovdje 365 dana u godini, strpljivi, prisutni i spremni za svakoga tko im pristupi otvorena srca.

Trenutna situacija je kritična zbog olujnog nevremena koje je "poharalo" našu Udrugu, oštetilo objekte, porušilo stabla, radni prostor itd. te izložilo nenadanim i ogromnim materijalnim troškovima koji nadilaze naše mogućnosti, obzirom da se financiramo samo od članarina i donacija građana.

Prikupljena sredstva koristiti će se za popravke radnog prostora (objekata, prostora, nabavku toaleta, popravak krovova, općenito troškovi izvođenja stručinih radova u našem radnom okruženju ...), nabavku skladišnog prostora za radne alate koji se svakodnevno koriste za održavanje, također poboljšanje uvjeta životnog prostora konja, volonter i korisnika udruge, mahom djece i mladih, te djece i mladih s poteškoćama i/ili invaliditetom. Također koristiti će se za "dotrajale" dijelove objekata obzirom na novonastalu situaciju, sve aktivnosti i financije, služiti će za obnovu drvenih objekata starih 14 godina, načetih amortizacijom, odnosno "zubom vremena"!

Zahvaljujemo se svima koji prepoznaju ili će prepoznati vrijednos i važnost naše misije i ciljeva usmjerene na dobrobit konja, životinja i prirode te šire društvene i lokalne zajednice.

ENG:

FALA Association has, to date, rescued 11 horses from certain death (not including those who have passed through our care system). Since its founding in 2011, initially 7, and today 5 horses actively and daily participate in the therapeutic, recreational, and educational programs of FALA Association, bringing joy, support, and strength to children, youth, and adults.

Through therapeutic riding and time spent with horses, children become happier, healthier, more active, and—most importantly—develop into confident, empathetic, and remarkable individuals. The horses help children with disabilities, as well as young people and adults, overcome personal “obstacles,” with the support of members, volunteers, and experienced instructors who, through their knowledge, experience, and dedication, stand behind every program of the Association.

FALA is not just a place for therapies – it is a community. A community of people and animals connected by trust, responsibility, and love. Our horses are here 365 days a year, patient, present, and ready for anyone who approaches them with an open heart.

The current situation is critical due to the severe storm that has “devastated” our Association, damaging facilities, knocking down trees, destroying workspaces, and exposing us to unexpected and significant material costs that exceed our capabilities, as we are funded solely through membership fees and citizen donations.

The funds raised will be used for the repair of workspaces (buildings, facilities, procurement of sanitary units, roof repairs, and general costs of professional construction work in our working environment), the purchase of storage space for tools used daily for maintenance, as well as the improvement of living conditions for the horses, volunteers, and users of the Association, mostly children and youth, including children and young people with disabilities. They will also be used for worn-out parts of the facilities, as the entire situation and funding will go toward the restoration of wooden structures that are 14 years old, affected by depreciation and the “wear and tear of time.”

We extend our gratitude to everyone who recognizes—or will recognize—the value and importance of our mission and goals, focused on the welfare of horses, animals, and nature, as well as the broader social and local community.

Yours, FALA ❤️
