It wasn't until I became fully immersed in the daily caring for the animals  at Sunnyside that I realized the work that it takes.  It resonated deeply and the more involved I became, the more I felt and experienced the physical, mental and emotional benefits of the actual work and the benefits thereof.  My body was stronger, my mind was clearer and my stamina was higher.  I felt empowered by my daily accomplishments and felt a sense of self-worth.  Every Senior should have such an opportunity.  Please help support this program so that people in my age group can experience such benefits.
