With Gratitude
It would be impossible for a project of this sort to be launched without the combined efforts and participation of many individuals and groups of people. First and foremost, I want to thank the people of Greensboro and Hale County for welcoming a psychiatrist from southern California to become part of their community and for teaching me many important lessons about life.
In addition to the generous donations and contributions of many individuals, Project Horseshoe Farm has been made possible by grants and contributions from the following organizations:
 The Alabama Power Foundation
Babson Capital Management
The Daniel Foundation of Alabama
The John C. Webb, III and Marie Suttle Webb Foundation
The Black Belt Community Foundation
The Community Foundation of West Alabama
The Alabama Civil Justice Foundation
The Honda Foundation
Trinity Episcopal Church, Demopolis, Alabama
St. Paul's Episcopal Church and teh Louis Fontaine Wither Guild, Greensboro, AL
The Salem Baptist Church of Greensboro
The Newbern Union Sunday School
The Women of the Presbyterian Church of Greensboro
The Greensboro Baptist Church
The Church of Latter-day Saints of Greensboro
Southern Academy Student Government Association
The support and generosity of others towards Horseshoe Farm, our Fellows, the ladies in our housing program, and towards me has been truly overwhelming. With apologies to the many people and groups who have helped in many ways who I am missing, I also want to thank the following people and groups for their help:

I want to thank my family and friends for their support and for listening to me talk about Project Horseshoe Farm way too much over the last several years.
The good that comes of this project is dedicated to all of my teachers and to the people of Greensboro.
Sincerely,
John Dorsey
