The Realities of Miss Bethie

Friday, January 20, 2006

If you are feeling a little cynical today...

My equine therapy group has been on winter break. That is why I haven't mentioned it in some time. I needed the break, so it has been a good hiatus for me.

Today I got a letter from the charity, giving information about various projects and fundraisers going on, the new sessions, and an update on some of our participants.

One little girl donated her Christmas money to us because she really didn't need anything else, and we have meant so much to us, she wants to return the favor.

A little boy who is dying has a last wish to ride his pony one more time. We are preparing to put Foxie, his pony, in a trailer and take her to him at a moment's notice. He Make a Wish request is for our group to get more saddles that are designed for children with physical disabilities. (We get a lot of regular saddles of all shapes and sizes donated, and they are put to good use, but the specialty saddles are hard to find and expensive to buy. It limits the number of children we can service with a physical disability that requires a special saddle).

I a world full of greed and selfishness, these little jewels we work with always remind me of the innate goodness is people.
