The Gina Foundation: Girls in Need of Assistance LOVE ENCOURAGEMENT INSPIRATION GIVING HOPE “I don’t know what my odds would have been had I not had horses in my life.” Leigh Morse Gina was a nurse, a high school teacher and a volunteer and supervisor for numerous projects for the Red Cross. She was working on her Master’s Degree and was nominated for teacher of the year two years in a row. Gina was an accomplished equestrian and had a passion for horses. She was assisting in the development of an equine therapy program in her county. Leigh was a family counselor who chose to return to school and earn her law degree. As an attorney and counselor, she had a vision of being a judge and a child advocate. She, like Gina, was an accomplished horsewoman and had combined her counseling program with equine therapy. These two beautiful, intelligent, accomplished women, having so much in common, never knew one another. However, they shared one more common fact…each took her own life. In one final act, they left behind their children, their horses and the multitude of children that they had positively influenced in their respective careers. Both were at risk…Gina’s entire family had been tragically killed before the age of seventeen. Leigh was adopted and never felt as if she fit in her biological or adoptive family. In their honor, a foundation will be established – Girls in Need of Assistance – to provide support and help to those girls and women who are at risk of injuring themselves or taking their own lives. More information and details will be provided later this year on www.SuccessNRG.com.
