自我介绍

My first loves were the animals who became my closest childhood friends and confidants when I felt I had no one else to turn to during a painful part of my journey to adulthood. Understanding that there are often deep pains in life and the many times that human beings were not able to touch them, I realized I was not alone in that aspect. At the ranch, the animals serve as an integral part of the on-going mission of providing therapeutic interaction for developmentally disabled and autistic children, seniors, veterans, and at-risk children Joy embraced her passionate gift in life which also would be a significant way to ‘give back’ to the community. Thus, “Scatter Joy Acres” was created to scatter God’s joy across all of his acres. On the ranch, each animal has a name, a story and a significance, which is demonstrated in warmth and love they share with every person they encounter. The interactions animals share as they meet with people are simply amazing.
