This installment of Friday release valve is brought to you by Horses for the Homeless.

Friends, we've got less than two weeks in 2020 and that means getting your charitable contributions

in under the wire to dodge those taxes. So allow me to recommend an excellent 503bF

equestrian nonprofit. horses for the homeless.

Obviously, being homeless is a tough life.

The lack of certainty, the food insecurity,

all the stress and misery that comes from living on the streets.

But one of the things you may not have considered about homelessness

is the profound lack of horses.

If you're living in a tent or on a park bench,

you don't have access to a stable, let alone a home horse crate.

Fortunately, there's horses for the homeless.

There are over 66,000 homeless people in Los Angeles alone.

And now, thanks to horses for the homeless, there are also 14,000 horses.

If you drive past a tent village or a shantytown wedged under an overpass and

happened to spot a holsted, you can be sure that horses for the homeless made some unfortunate

person's day a little brighter by giving them a horse to love and care for.

The kind-hearted people of horses for the homeless know they can't fix or even alleviate

the national homelessness epidemic. But they do think it's possible to add

thousands upon thousands of horses to the situation. Maybe one day our

leaders will finally quit their partisan bickering and come up with real solutions to help

the unhoused get back on their feet.
