Rosann T. Leva Foundation

This page is dedicated to all those fighting to win the war against cancer  

Rosann T. Leva

October 13, 1946 - August 11, 2008



God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be.

So He wrapped his arms around you,and whispered, "come to me."
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.

God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best

And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain

I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.

This page is dedicated to my Mom, who lost her battle with cancer in August. We are all suffering from the loss of this beautiful, spirited woman - both inside and out. She truly was an inspiration to all she met. Mom spent her days helping others - from other cancer patients to the homeless, to the horses at this facility, Mom truly was amazing.

During her fight with cancer, Mom founded the Rosann T. Leva Foundation, designed to continue her good works through grants and donations.


She also founded the "Healing Garden" where people who have lost a loved one or loved pet can plant a flower in their memory, and then journal about their person. This garden is nestled in the trees at our Warwick Facility.
Her love, like the wings of a butterfly, has touched everyone so gently, but so profoundly.

She instilled much love, laughter and faith in so many people. She put everyone else first and always had a kind word to say. Like the flowers in her garden, this love will bloom and grow in each of our hearts – to sow, to reap and to spread as she watches from God’s eternal garden.


Donations to her foundation are fully tax deductible AND we will update this page with those little acts of love we share as this foundation and her garden, grow.

We are grateful for the support, advice and assistance. "Blossom" the mechanical horse has been a great asset to our organization and in furthering our community program goals.

If you're looking for a horse that doesn't need a stall, doesn't need to be boarded, doesn't eat like a horse (ha!) then check out the Equcizer!
