Meet Robert and Mandy Ayers

High school sweethearts since the ages of 18 and 16, Robert and Mandy Ayers have built a life rooted in love, hard work, and purpose. Together, they’ve raised three beautiful daughters—Jordan, Juliauna, and Joslyn—dedicating themselves to creating a meaningful legacy for their family and community.

Robert is a proud Iraq War veteran who continues to serve in a different way—tirelessly caring for the animals and maintaining the farm with dedication and heart. Mandy, a compassionate hospice nurse by night and animal caretaker by day, brings deep empathy and strength to everything she does. Both share a passion for helping others and making a difference in the lives around them.

In August 2021, their world was forever changed by the unimaginable loss of their daughter, Juliauna Mae, to suicide. Out of this profound grief, Robert and Mandy turned their heartbreak into healing—and Mae’s Haven was born.

Mae’s Haven is their labor of love and hope, created as a safe space for both people and animals to heal. They’ve since rescued seven horses and now offer equine therapy to support guests on their own journeys through pain, recovery, and growth.

At Mae’s Haven, healing happens in the quiet moments—among kind-hearted animals, under open skies, and in the presence of people who truly care. Robert and Mandy are honored to share this space with others, keeping Juliauna’s memory alive through every life they touch.
