Through Lexi's Voice, youth, especially those who have been victims of sexual and/or domestic abuse or other traumas, are given the unique opportunity to find comfort and healing through ongoing interactions with animals Over the last several years, we have been able to offer Fun with Friends meetups, the goal of which is to help participants make social connections, deepen existing relationships, and grow their self-confidence. During the summer, Fun with Friends takes place weekly. During the school year, it takes place approximately every-other week. All Fun with Friends sessions include a meal or snack, and most are open to family and friends. Fun with Friends activities can include fun, all-expenses-paid excursions. Destinations have included a princess tea party, the Kuehnert Dairy Farm, a train ride with ice cream, and much more. During the winter months, we often meet at a church in southeast Fort Wayne, where participants interact with our rescue rabbits and participate in games, discussions, and empowerment activities. Many of the young people we serve do not engage in outings like this on their own due to financial and other access barriers. Moreover, they may feel uncertain in large, social settings. Having Lexi's Voice friends with them makes them feel more confident. We are thrilled to provide them with these much-deserved opportunities to be playful and have fun! We also host themed Fun with Friends celebratory events. Most events take place at Blackstone Ranch, where attendees have the opportunity to participate in various stations, which may include craft activities, games, horse and donkey rides, story time, snacks, photography, etc. Participants love and look forward to these events because they give them the opportunity to bring along their loved ones and showcase the progress they have made. 40618 39061 39061 Katrina Priest Vice President 6 0 0 0 Betty Lee Secretary Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Jayme Keck Board member 2 0 0 0 Lindsey Mason Care Team Advocate 1 0 0 0 Lany Cook Board Member 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IN Katrina Priest 2305 Westbrook Dr Fort Wayne IN 46805 2603884337 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 15572 11648 29795 28033 40618 125666 15572 11648 29795 28033 40618 125666 125666 125666 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Boarding;17075|Vet;2067|Animal supplies;3745|Youth Programs;8132|Horseback Riding;2880|Farrier;423|Gas;1907|Fund Development;1576|Insurance;639|Office Supplies;617^Total;39061^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 The balance forward from 2022 was zero
