My Nonprofit Reviews

As my mother grew older, trying to find her meaningful gifts for birthdays, Christmas and other occasions became increasingly difficult. What she didn't need was another blouse or something to dust. However, she had always had an affinity and a soft spot in her heart for the American Mustang. Although Spirit Acres Farm Equine Rescue and Sanctuary cares for many different breeds of horses (and donkeys and mules too!), one of their rescue animals happened to be an American Mustang, Mustang Sally, who was terribly abused until she was rescued by Spirt Acres. Because of Mom's love for Mustangs, we "adopted" Sally for her. Mom was even able to travel from North Carolina several times to meet her. This relationship occurred until both Mom and Sally passed away...within the same week of each other! We now know that they are riding the clouds together up in heaven!

It was always a challenge to come up with a gift to give to my elderly mother at Christmas. She certainly did not need another blouse or something to dust. However my Mom always had a soft spot for the American Mustang. Searching in my county, I found that Spirit Acres did indeed have a rescue mustang, Sally, who had been abused. Since then, I have "adopted" Sally in my Mom's name. It was a pleasure to my Mom and myself, as well as a comfort, to see Sally getting the care she deserves. Sadly, both Sally and my mother have passed away (within 5 days of each other!) but I am certainly they are both enjoying themselves up in heaven.
