"Horses Helping Humans, Humans Helping Horses…“There can be but little healing without hope; it is among the greatest gifts one can give to another, for it is both a journey, and a destination.” Kerry M Thomas
About Us:
Welcome to Destination Hope’s Digital Media Productions, a newly minted initiative dedicated to
illuminating the often-overlooked goodness in the world. Across America and around the globe, countless
wonderful non-profit organizations (NPOs) are committed to the symbiotic relationships between humans
and animals. Many of these organizations, large and small, not only rescue animals but are instrumental in
providing hope and healing for people. Sanctuaries of kindness where hope is truly a destination. Many if
not all of these programs fight their own struggle to survive every day.
I know this from personal experience. As the one-time manager of a startup NPO In Pennsylvania, I
witnessed firsthand the strains of staying afloat while facilitating the magical connections formed through
emotional bonds. Our organization was just one among many, and it became clear to me that the ongoing
challenge of balancing financial stability with providing excellent service and animal care is a relentless
tug-of-war. Most of these organizations operate on tight budgets, with little room for advertising or
marketing. As a result, their incredible efforts often go unnoticed.
This is where Destination Hope comes in. My wife, Daphne, and I are determined to change that.
Through Destination Hope’s Digital Media Productions, we aim to become a beacon of hope for the
future of these NPOs, who give so much to so many every day. Whether through podcasts or video, our
goal is to provide a platform for them to share their daily lives and tell their stories to the world.
Our Mission:
Destination Hope is more than just a media production company; it is a movement aimed at recognizing
and celebrating the extraordinary efforts of those who dedicate their lives to animal welfare and human
well-being. We believe in the profound impact that emotional wellness has on individuals and
communities. Animals, especially horses, play a crucial role in this. Their natural herd dynamics and
mutual dependence mirror the connections so familiar to us as humans, this being the cornerstone for our
incredible bond through the ages. Connecting with horses is an emotional experience, cathartic and
healing in so many ways.
By highlighting the work of the hard working and dedicated folks who work in, for and with animal-
based wellness NPOs, we aim to spread awareness and appreciation for their tireless efforts. Through our
digital media content, we seek to inspire others to get involved, support, and contribute to these causes.
Our goal is to create a ripple effect of positive change, where kindness and compassion are acknowledged
and amplified. In short, we want to provide a space to share their incredible stories and the stories of those
affected by their positive efforts!
Meet Our Mascot, Tink!
At the heart of Destination Hope is our beloved mascot, Tink. Tink embodies the spirit of hope, resilience,
and the deep bond between humans and animals. Tink is also known for sharing his positive vibe thoughts
and catchy slogans to help brighten our days. Be sure and look for “Think Like Tink” features on the
Sensory Soundness Tik Toc and across our various socials! We hope to put Tink in the hands of many
children going forward, as a plushy!
With Tink by our side, Daphne and I will bring you heartfelt stories and insightful conversations that
highlight the good in the world. Together, we aim to shine a light on the unsung heroes who make a
difference every day.

Our Destination Hope Mascot
As we kicked off our Destination Hope initiative, the idea of having a mascot for the program had been in the back of my mind for quite some time leading up to launch. A mascot that would both represent our work in the human/horse wellness arena and be fun for kids of all ages. Thanks to the great artistic talents of a local young artist, Sam, I was gifted an original piece for that purpose. Why the name “Tink”? As timing would have it, the mascot was ready to be introduced on an incredibly special day of the year, July 24th. I lost my father to cancer in May of 2002, a very difficult time for all of us as a family. My dad was an incredible human being, and though I am sad I do not have him today to help guide and advise me through life's ups and downs, I am thankful for having a beautiful childhood with memories and lessons abundant from my dad that I have carried forward in life. Growing up, he had a nickname for me, ‘Tink’. My dad was the kind of man who never backed away from helping someone in need, he was a quiet but solid foundation not just for our family, but for many he had touched through the years. Creating Destination Hope was an idea that was, as I look back, nurtured by the example of my dad Ken. As a special, personal tribute to him, on the date of his birthday, it was clear what the name of the mascot was, and Tink was born, July 24th, 2022. *To see more work from the artist, follow on Instagram @pip.cosplays
