Whispering Angels Youth Ranch is an amazing place . It is a faith based non-profit that offers healing to children that have faced difficult circumstances and rescue to abused or neglected horses. As I mentor I develop a trusting and nurturing relationship with my child by sharing activities with her, listening and providing a safe space for her to grow. We groom and care for "her" horse together and as this relationship grows so does the child's confidence. The setting for Whispering Angels is magical-rolling pastures with barns filled with a variety of activities for children. The children can take part in art projects, gardening, devotional groups or woodshop projects while the caregivers can meet with a counselor to share experiences. Watching these troubled children develop relationships and hope is unlike any other volunteer experience.
Whispering Angels is literally a little piece of Heaven on Earth. A feeling of peace comes over me as I drive through the gates. My granddaughter and I are met with love and hugs from everyone. While she meets with her mentor, I am a part of a support group. The time with my granddaughter’s mentor includes time with the horse who chose her. Also, there are many more activities that she enjoys with her mentor. She especially enjoys the art room! Lives are being changed in a safe, loving environment. Miracles happen at Whispering Angels Youth Ranch!
Such a wonderful place for showing love and helping in healing for the children of our area. So many fall through the cracks and WAYR has really filled the void that was needed for these families. From the mentors and volunteers, to the amazing, caring staff; to the activities available (including the garden and art room) the children are given all the tools to feel comfortable and loved by all. The horses are so in-tune with the children it just melts your heart to watch them together. Just a wonderful place!
