Rainhill had a special visitor this week. His name is Antonio Herndon and he is the Program Director for a wonderful organization called New Opportunities and Ways (N.O.W.). This amazing group of caring individuals works to improve the lives of marginalized, devalued, or disadvantaged members of society. Their motto is, “Where lives take shape.” There are far too many people who are without a family unit, a place where they are cared for, nurtured and shown the way to a happy life. Isolation is a terrible thing, N.O.W. strives to help and teach the way to a happier tomorrow.
To learn more about N.O.W., visit their website at new-opportunities.org.
If you have questions, you can email Antonio at: antonio@new-opportunities.org.
I first met Antonio when he contacted Rainhill about bringing a few of his participants out to visit the horses. I thought, “What a wonderful idea!”
As someone who understands the plight of the unwanted horses, I truly saw the same struggles with people. It just shouldn’t be this way for any living thing, human or animal. I welcomed Antonio and his friends to Rainhill and enjoyed every minute of their visits.
So, last Friday Antonio came out with his new friend, David. As you can see by the photo, David is full of joy as he walks around meeting each horse. They even stayed to help with the evening feeding chores.
Remember, Sharing is Caring so let’s all try a little kindness.
As you read this, Thanksgiving is almost here, another year almost over. May we all count our blessings and lend a hand to someone who needs help. There is so much sadness in the world right now, let’s try to be the solution and not the problem.
Thanks for reading our stories. If you would like to help our horses, we would be so thankful. You can check us out on Facebook and see more of our precious horses. Rainhill is a 501c3 non-profit so all donations are tax-deductible.
