The other day I told somebody that they needed to get MADD to correct a problem they were having and that's exactly what Matt did. He got MADD when one of his friends took their own life. I didn't advise Matt to get MADD but that's what he did, he made a damn decision and started to work on Valhalla Ranch. Good for you, Mr. Littrell!
I'm assuming that this was quite a shock to Matt's soon to be wife, Kristen. Sure, Kristen was fine with supporting Matt in his dream of building a ranch where veterans could visit to clear the cobwebs from their mind, but the shock and pain pushed him beyond his having a dream and he started to work to turn his dream in to a reality. Not an easy job for a young couple, but they have a mission.
Matt and Kristen could use your help. Kristen has set up a gofundme page for Valhalla Ranch and it would be great if you would donate. Seriously, they're needing 30K for this mission. You're supporting the construction of bunk houses and fencing for the horses that Matt and Kristen have trained.
Thirty-thousand dollars and yet we sit around and say, "What's wrong with the younger generation?" Maybe the answer is that we have isolated ourselves so much that we won't believe in anybody from the younger generation.
C'mon, Matt set out to cross the United States on horseback and he did. Need more proof? Okay, it's on Kristen's shoulders. She believed in his mission, stuck with him on The Long Trail Home and is training the horses that will be used on the ranch. I guess she does some of that domestic dolly junk like cooking and cleaning too because it appears to me from the pictures she posts that there isn't a pizza shop very close to the ranch. You can follow them on Twitter at MK Horsemanship or keep up with Matt and Kristen on facebook to watch their progress.
Most importantly, please donate to Valhalla Ranch through the gofundme page. It's about freedom from miserable memories.
