My daughter Kirstyn is a volunteer. She has learned so much about caring through the ministry and by Mrs. Alvardez's example, that it has had a major impact on her life. Kirstyn is learning great life lessons through Desire Ministries such as caring for others, personal responsibility, patience, and selfless service that is not often found in like programs. Kristy Alvarez's kindness, love, humbleness, and inspiration touch many lives and helped Kirstyn and her friends in a positive way. Desire Ministries inspirers those who are involved. It is a unique ministry that has touched many hearts. Kirstyn will continue to volunteer in the program because of how it touches the lives of people and horses.
