Healing Is Coming To Living Life Ranch in Gardner, Kansas Elijah’s Path To Healing Foundation Inspired by James 1:27, the mission of Elijah’s Path To Healing Foundation is to provide a faith-based path to healing for adults and children that will help them through the grief and trauma of losing someone they love. In 2012, Tracy Boone and her young son, Elijah, thought they lost their hap- pily ever after when Reid, Tracy’s husband, and Elijah’s dad, died. Tracy was left a widow and Elijah was left fatherless, without his hero. Although fighting the brain disease Reid had been difficult, Tracy realized that the healing pro - cess might be even more difficult – especially for her young son of six years. Sadly, she was right. Tracy found what most new widows find – that support and resources are difficult to find and hard to navigate. But Tracy found a way through it and met a new love – horses. She and Elijah both found that faith-based equine-assisted learning therapy healed them in a way they never thought possible. In 2016, Tracy and Elijah decided that they needed to help others and start- ed the foundation. Today, the foundation focuses on helping strengthen your relationship with God because the burden is heavy without God; giving comfort and care so you do not feel alone; providing education so you can understand what you are feeling; engaging in fellowship and fun because the journey can be stressful; and connecting you to the resources that can help you through your grief and trauma. Tracy and Elijah even host a TV program called The Path To Healing Show which airs on X networks around the world.
