Spirit Quilts Visits the Handi-Riders
Today my daughter JayaMae, Founder of the non-profit organization Spirit Quilts, visited the Handi-Riders, a local therapeutic riding center, to present the Director and Program Coordinator with hand-made quilts for each and every child in the program.
JayaMae and volunteers recruited from the town of Paradise lovingly patched together seventy quilts for the Handi-Riders. Each year JayaMae and her helpers, some of them children, piece together "comfort quilts" for disabled, ill, or orphaned children. The organization also makes quilts for hospice patients.
This year, in honor of Winnie's Walk Across America, JayaMae decided to donate quilts to a non-profit organization that uses horses to help heal and strengthen children. Each quilt includes material with horses in the design. Except for that common thread, every quilt is unique, constructed mainly from donated material, according to the whim of its creator.

Dear Ann, Winnie and Jayamae,
HOW WONDEERFUL - GOD BLESS YOU. MAY THE UNIVERSE BLESS YOU and spread the word about the gift horses bring to our world. They can help people with mental and physical trauma where traditional therapy fails.
Peace, love and hugs,
joyce, dakota and all the other critters of the EWE and MEE farm
