About Carol Ciarniello
A heart for community
One of Carol’s core values is community service. Some of the organizations that have benefitted from her time and talents include: churches wherever she has lived, Special Olympics, Cincinnati Youth Collaborative, Good Samaritan Hospital, American Red Cross, The Navajo Nation, MOTS (Manatee Operation Troop Support), Guardian Ad Litem, New Options at MTI (Manatee Technical Institute), SMART (Sarasota Manatee Association for Riding Therapy), Hooves with Heart, veterans groups, and a condo association.
The vision behind Hope4tomrrow-rescue
Children are a precious gift and need/deserve love, care, guidance. When that support is lacking, and situations escalate to a point where intervention is necessary, a social service agency steps in. As a foster parent Carol saw firsthand the grim reality children face when removed from what they called “home” and placed with strangers. Whether that situation involves short-term or long-term placement, it has a major effect on each child. It is from this vantage point that the vision of Hope4tomorrow-rescue was birthed.
A lifelong connection with horses
Horses have played a significant role in Carol’s life since her late teenage years. As a horse owner she learned how to properly feed, groom, ride, muck stalls, and care for her horse. Several years have been spent volunteering at various equine therapy programs. With a desire to help horses live their best life, in 2020 Carol enrolled in the (hands on) Masterson Method weekend course. There she learned how to effectively locate and release tension and stress in key areas of the horse’s body. Since then she has applied that technique/modality to numerous horses. Each time it brings a smile and depth of satisfaction as she watches the horse release the tension and move about more freely.

Helping others find financial freedom
Throughout her professional career, Carol has worked in various industries, but at the core of each one is some aspect of finance. She is passionate about helping others achieve financial freedom, and gives seminars on basic money management. She holds numerous certifications including Florida Master Money Mentor.
Nourishing health and well-being
Overall health and well-being cannot be obtained without a healthy diet. Carol’s mantra echoes that of Hippocrates---“Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food”. She holds a Plant-based Nutrition certification through eCornell.
