Building Freedom Capital Campaign

At Finding Freedom Ranch, we believe every young woman deserves a safe, faith-filled space to heal from the pain of eating disorders. Our Capital Campaign is a bold step toward expanding our reach and deepening our impact. With your support, we aim to build new facilities, enhance therapeutic programs, and create lasting pathways to recovery. Join us in laying the foundation for hope, healing, and transformation...one life at a time.

The goal of this campaign is to raise the funds necessary to complete Michigan's first residential treatment facility for adolescent girls battling eating disorders.

Finding Freedom Ranch will be unlike any other treatment center; a gospel-based ministry that works toward healing the heart of an eating disorder with the mind of Christ. We will provide medical intervention if needed, Biblical counseling and equine therapy in the treatment process. We will also be able to house and expand on our current support groups, which provide much-needed early intervention and community for both those fighting an eating disorder and those who walk along side them.

Young women who go through Finding Freedom Ranch will find peace with God, peace with themselves and peace with food. By exploring the depth of their spiritual identities, their external battle, and their emotional insecurities through the gospel truth, young women will be equipped to stand in their new found freedom.

Our architects are currently estimating the total project costs at $2.5 million. The generous support we have received so far has allowed us to complete Phase 1 and Phase 2. This current campaign wraps up when these four phases are complete. Beyond this campaign, funds will be needed for staffing, maintenance and other ongoing expenses. Any amount raised beyond the Building Freedom Campaign will go toward those future costs.

Complete the construction of a twelve-person residence, including sleeping, dining, and

The need is great for Finding Freedom Ranch. When the Burgess family sought treatment for their daughter in 2018, the closest residential eating disorder facility was hours away in Indiana.

Since then, the prevalence of eating disorders in adolescent girls has more than doubled...and still, far too many Michigan families are faced with sending their daughters out of state for treatment, often being forced to wait for availability.

With the onset of eating disorders often beginning in adolescence, it is ever more important that early intervention and effective treatment options are readily available and accessible.

At Finding Freedom Ranch, we believe it’s not just the accessibility of treatment that our community needs. We believe that healing and true freedom from eating disorders is found when that treatment is centered on the light, life and heart of Christ.

Once our Ranch is complete, we plan to offer in-house, full-time care and treatment resources for up to 12 patients at a time, provided by on-staff licensed counselors and medical professionals who are specialized in eating disorder treatments.

Equine therapy, beekeeping, and gardening will be integrated into the recovery process.

The Building Freedom Campaign is raising funds for our first three buildings : The Lodge, The Stables and The Bunkhouse.
