It was a cool winter morning when Sweetie was
born on the frosty covered farm land at The Home. While making the
usual rounds feeding the animals, staff came upon the new calf.
They were soon to discover that Sweetie’s mom did not make it
through the birthing process. Sweetie was instantly swept up and
brought to the Goat Barn to be nursed, cared for and protected. For
the next several months our kids, who undoubtedly could relate to
her situation, loved and cherished their time with Sweetie.
On any given day you’ll find our kids up at the
farm caring for the animals. Visiting the farm is one of the most
favorite experiences that a kid has on our campus. In a lot of
ways, kids can relate to the animals at our farm because they too
may have been abandoned or mistreated. Now they have a special home
where they are loved, cared for and can feel protected. A few might
even get a big sloppy kiss from Becky, the donkey, which always puts
a smile on a face!
Recently a donor came forward to sponsor
Sweetie for the year. The sponsor’s financial donation will cover
the veterinarian bills, feed and grooming needs for Sweetie.
You, too, can sponsor one of our animals in our
Friendly Barnyard.
How can you be a part of
such
a heartwarming venture?
Contact the Development Office (336-721-7607) or

Adoptive sponsors will receive a periodic
letter with news about their
Friendly Barnyard animal’s experience on the farm.
Becky, Gus, Jack, Ozzie, Petunia, Annie, Hope,
Cleo, Charmer and many others look forward to your call!
