I’m a volunteer photographer at Hearts and Horses. I recently lost my daughter to cancer which has left me heart broken. My work here as a photographer gives me a sense of purpose and the opportunity to contribute to a cause that promotes healing and hope. Documenting the progress and positive experiences of participants can be incredibly fulfilling, helping me find meaning and direction in the midst of my grief. This process of documenting moments of connection and healing is cathartic, providing a sense of purpose and a way to honor my daughter's memory. But most of all, my work here connects me with a community of staff, volunteers, and participants who understand the challenges of grief. This supportive network offers me empathy, understanding, and companionship, which are crucial for my emotional healing.
