"I love Big Emma and she loves me."
"Even when it's cold and windy, I feel good riding horses!"
"Allison wants to do thing her sister can, and riding is the one thing she can do like Anesa. Allison would ride everyday if she could. We thank you, and God thanks you too."
"The pure love exchanged between these beautiful children and horses is something everyone should experience in their lifetime. It far exceeds the so needed therapeutic values received for these kids. It's wonderful to see the joy on their faces when they're on horseback or hugging "Clyde" the sheep or loving on the dogs and cats that's found such a caring home on this farm. I know for me, as a volunteer, whether it's helping with a riding class or feeding the animals, just being here, fills my heart with a warmth that words cannot epxress. It makes me realize what the real achievements in life are."
"I love seeing the children's enjoyment of horseback riding and the love they feel for the horses. It is amazing what they can learn and the help horseback riding brings to every aspect of their life. It helps so much with their development physically and mentally."
"Hannah has gained confidence that carries over to all aspecsts of her life.
She looks forward to each riding session so she can be with all her 'horse friends'. We are extremely grateful for all the people at Wonder Kids."
"As a first year volunteer, I have experienced what I have always heard, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' I could not imagine that from my insignificant 'giving' my personal joys would exceed time and money."
"Volunteering at Wonder Kids has been very rewarding and totally FUN!
The accomlishments that the children make in this type of therapeutic
and learning environment are as amazing as the kids themselves."
"Going to Wonder Kids is awesome!"
"Wonder Kids is WONDERFUL! My kids are loved and respected the way they are."
"Working with the children and volunteers at Wonder Kids gives me
an opportunity to be a part of God at work while at the same time
giving me the joy of working with two of my loves -- children and animals."
"I taught children with special needs for 40 years. They are near and dear to my heart! I'm honored to be a 'donor from a distance' to Wonder Kids. There should never be a time that a child is denied his/her feeling of worth and value."
"What a wonderful gift Wonder Kids has been to children of all different
special needs and certainly for Meghan. We see the love that is shown to
every child by Susie and the volunteers. It makes these children see the
accomplishments they can make whether it be balance, mobility, or academic."
"As a volunteer at Wonder Kids, I have realized I can make a difference."
