Family

Volunteering for The Salt River Wild Horse Management Group as of March 2018. These Wild horses are such an important part of Arizona. I began by just donating in 2017 and reached out in January of 2018 about volunteering. I have done several different volunteer positions in the last 7.5 years. I have been on rescue missions, road patrol, assisting at fundraisers as well as caretaking at the wild horse sanctuary 1-2 days a week since I began with the organization. This group has been a life-changing experience and healed my depression. I vehemently believe in the mission of this group!
