Shannon White
Director, Secretary

“I believe God uniquely prepared me to serve on the Board of Willow Ranch Equine Assisted Counseling.  I worked 18 years as a legal assistant and office manager at a law firm.  Having volunteered for Pellow Outreach for several years, I learned a great deal about the operation of a nonprofit.

We are all given the chance to do good, whether we use that chance is completely up to us.  I have watched Christa bring good to this world out of the most impossible of tragedy, the loss of one’s child.  Her ability to love everyone is something to behold.  It is my privilege to offer whatever assistance I can so that she can bless the lives of children and their families through Willow Ranch Equine Assisted Counseling.”

“I have known Christa Malcolm for over 30 years.  It is my great honor to support Christa’s mission to counsel children and parents on navigating the difficult situations in today’s world.  Watching the success of these children, after they complete counseling at Willow Ranch, and go on to excel in school, makes me very proud of the work being done by Christa and her staff. I look forward to what the future holds for this amazing organization.”
