"Good afternoon! I wanted to share something that happened today. I was meeting with a __ year old to match her with her new mentor. This young lady has been through a lot in her short life and was pretty shut down, not really willing to engage in conversation with me and very sullen. After talking for a few minutes, mostly one sided conversation from me, she mentioned how she loves horses. I pulled out my cell, went to FB and showed her your minis......Oh my goodness, night and day change in her behavior! She moved closer to me and watched as I scrolled through the pictures, squealing with delight! For about 2 and a half minutes she watched as I pulled picture after picture up becoming more animated and engaged. Wanting to know their names, ages and if they liked getting dressed up. By the time her mentor came she was a bubbly, excited little girl. As I left the match meeting, my heart full I could hear them talking and getting to know each other. You do powerful work and I am not so sure the match meeting would have been as successful without your pictures. So thank you!" ~Laura P.- Tutor/Mentor, Outreach Coordinator for Arizonans for Children
