While supplies last. 14 May 2014 Super Heroes Needed for Two Hearts Program W ith summer fast approaching, movie buffs will be bombarded with the latest big screen super-hero extravaganzas. But in the Fall, a lot of kids from the real world in the greater Phoenix area, who are truly in need of heroes, will be signing up for a very special opportunity to participate in the Two Hearts Horsemanship Program at Sunshine Acres Children’s Home in Mesa. Many of the at-risk kids who find healing and learn character-building skills in the program will return from summer vacation to learn that while the horses are still there for them, some of the volunteer mentors have not been able to return for various reasons such as job changes, moving, etc. Cindy Jones, Director of the Program, is calling out for help from men and women who have a heart for kids and horses to give her a call at 480-832-2540. You may think you are just an average, decent, and good-hearted man or woman but Cindy Jones can turn you into a “super-hero” to kids who have had their hearts broken from abuse or neglect. “The best part is that you don’t have to wear a cape,” says Cindy, joking around about the task at hand, “Our kids and our horses will love you just for showing up.” The Two Hearts Horsemanship Program is in its fifth year of operation at Sunshine Acres Children’s Home at 3405 North Higley Road in Mesa. And Sunshine Acres Children’s Home is in its 60th year of providing residential care for these at-risk children. 8
