The MGHSE arena is in need of a new metal roof.  The leaking washers and brittle skylights have caused the insulation and cloth to deteriorate and fall, requiring that the interior of the facility be constantly monitored and protected.  The cost to replace the roof is $149,877.  The Susan Mott Webb Charitable Trust, Birmingham has already kicked off the campaign with a $25,000 gift.  Many other donors are following suit, but we still need your help!

 “I’ve seen things here that I’ve not seen before,” explains parent and volunteer Jimmy Seago, Roanoke.  Jimmy’s son, Jacob, a spirited eight-year-old, was born without ears and has attended the Helen Keller School, AIDB’s unit for students with multiple disabilities, for four years.  “I thought I had problems.  It’s a whole different world here.  It’s amazing to see the kids try so hard to do what is asked of them on a horse.”
