My purpose in serving Agape is to provide more families like ours, the opportunity to be blessed by Agape’s mission of “unbridled hope.” Our daughter, Ashley, has autism and is low functioning. She also has several physical disabilities, which makes it difficult finding meaningful programs that fit her unique needs. Ashley loves riding her horse, Dolly, and enjoys the social interaction with other riders and volunteers in her class. She gets a great workout while riding, which helps improve her strength, balance, and coordination.

For the first time in 3 years of having adopted Lilly, this experience has brought Lilly true joy! I have never seen her have such true peace and joy over any one thing. She seems to be so free and peaceful while riding. The gentleness and love that she demonstrates for him is unlike anything I have seen her exhibit. She is practicing her listening skills and we can use that at home and draw comparisons to how she is with the horse and how we treat others in different situations.
