At AmeriServe, we take pride in supporting our clients as they pursue fulfilling and meaningful experiences. This month, we’re thrilled to share the inspiring story of Xander, one of our Lead-On clients, who has embarked on a rewarding journey of volunteering with Wild Hearts ‘N Horses, a local non-profit horse ranch in Iowa.
Xander’s Search for Meaningful Volunteer Work
For individuals with disabilities, finding volunteer opportunities that resonate on a personal level can be incredibly empowering. Xander, a determined and compassionate individual, had been actively searching for a volunteer role that felt meaningful to him. When he learned about Wild Hearts ‘N Horses, he instantly knew it would be the perfect fit.
The ranch, known for its therapeutic environment and focus on the well-being of both horses and people, provided Xander with a unique opportunity to contribute to a cause he deeply cares about.
Volunteering at Wild Hearts ‘N Horses: A Perfect Match
Xander now spends two to three days each week volunteering at Wild Hearts ‘N Horses. His responsibilities include handling hay bales, assisting with maintenance tasks, and, most importantly, tending to the horses—a task that has quickly become his favorite part of the job.
Through his work at the ranch, Xander has not only gained valuable skills and experience but has also developed a meaningful friendship with the owner and operator of Wild Hearts ‘N Horses. The supportive and welcoming environment at the ranch has allowed Xander to thrive, and he genuinely enjoys the time he spends with both the horses and the dedicated staff members.
The Impact of Volunteering on Xander’s Growth
Volunteering has had a profound impact on Xander’s life. It has provided him with a sense of purpose and belonging, and it has been a crucial step in his journey toward greater independence and personal growth. At AmeriServe, we are committed to helping our clients explore opportunities that align with their interests and goals, and Xander’s experience at Wild Hearts ‘N Horses is a testament to the power of finding the right match.
Xander is excited to continue his work at the ranch and is eager to see what other opportunities may arise from this experience. His story is an inspiring example of how meaningful volunteer work can enrich the lives of individuals with disabilities, helping them build confidence, skills, and connections within their communities.
A Heartfelt Thank You to Wild Hearts ‘N Horses
