After my unfortunate accident that changed my life I realized I could use my passion for animals and help others who have been through something traumatic. Caitlin Beadles was an accomplished Equestrian hunter/jumper who was planning on attending Vet school at Auburn University. Her passion has always been horses and is an advocate for animal rescue. In 2009, Caitlin was in a terrible boating acc
ident, which resulted in changing her life forever. Caitlin fell off a jet ski while an oncoming boat did not see her in the water. Although, she was quick enough to throw her head back out of the way the boat ran her over and her legs were badly mangled in the propellors. After losing all her blood and going into shock Caitlin flatlined 4 times before they would get her stabilized. It has been a long and painful recovery, but God has such big plans for her life. Starting this foundation to help others is only the beginning of what we believe God has in store for her. Caitlin's God-given desire is to be a healing agent used to bridge the gap between rescuing hurting animals and help guide children towards emotional healing. To give hope to kids whose lives were inexorably changed through a trauma. She strives to restore joy to children who have been put through a traumatic life changing experience. Caitlin wants to use John 15:5 as her motto. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. This is the sole mission of Cailtin’s Vine of Bravery.
