Story
Marvin had a challenging childhood. He was in foster care until his adoption at 8 years old. Then our sweet guy experienced more trauma when his sister, Hannah, suffered a devastating health event that would forever change our family. Unfortunately, that wasn't all as his BFF and younger brother, Timothy, passed away with Leukemia. Through it all, Marvin's faith in God has remained strong. Even at a young age he showed just how "tough" he really can be when presented with challenges.
A few years ago he found Special Needs Rodeo and hasn't looked back since. We are all so proud of him and so thankful for all that SAY Rodeo and his trainer, Shell, do for him!
