BIO:
Born in Kingston, Jamaica and raised in Orlando, Florida, philanthropist Karin Taylor has devoted her remarkable life to not only raising her five children alongside her husband, but to relentlessly give back and to make a difference in the lives of local at-risk youth, foster children, and veterans through her unique hands-on equestrian therapy programs through establishing the Weisberg Family Foundation. Karin created the Weisberg Family Foundation, a private innovative philanthropic organization, to help those in need through volunteerism and financial support. The Weisberg Family Foundation's incredible programs include the Academia de la Esperanza (Hope Academy) in the Dominican Republic, Vanessa's Wish, the Charitable Children's Program, Kids' Camp, and the Homeschool Connection. The foundation set up a trip to Universal Studios for 60 underprivileged children in the area, and aims to inspire others to volunteer with their family and engage with their partner organizations.
Florida's Weisberg Stables is a stunning 20-acre farm known for their sensory petting zoo, farm tours, equine assisted learning, and riding lessons/clinics. Home to an array of over 150 animals, which range from chickens and tortoises to ponies, emus, and even a wallaby, Weisberg Stables brings "a stable life" to at-risk, underprivileged youth, and home school groups. Karin has always been passionate about family and animals and believes that it's important to give time, talent, and resources to those in need. She, along with her husband, love seeing the joy their animals can bring to others. She has recently partnered with the Salvation Army and has donated care packages to Hurricane Irma victims. Additionally, Karin serves the Hart for Horses organization as a board member and donor. Karin currently resides in Jupiter, Florida with her husband and 5 homeschooled children. The entire family is involved in volunteering their time and energy with The Weisberg Family Foundation. When she's not tirelessly running the foundation, Karin is planning the launch of a new inspiring podcast and novel to launch in 2018.
