Dear Friend,

We want to thank you so much for visiting our website. We hope you love it!

In these times of gangs, drugs, crime, violence and war, it is essential that we make efforts to ensure a more peaceful future for our children. We feel it is imperative that we teach our children kindness and compassion, and empathy for all living beings. When a child meets another, looking different than themselves, with perhaps a different religion, race, sex, or language, if that child knows that we are all the same on the inside, then perhaps that child will accept the other and we will be closer to having peace on earth.

At The Gentle Barn, we work hard every day to achieve this goal. We work with children from the inner city, group homes, mental health care facilities, foster homes, and schools to teach them that even though we are all different on the outside, on the inside we are all the same and are deserving of the same rights, respects, and freedom.

We can’t do this work without you and are grateful for your support. Enjoy the website and check back with us from time to time to see what's new. The best way to help is by making a donation or sponsoring an animal. Please take a look at our wishlist to get other ideas on how to support The Gentle Barn.

Thank you so much for your support!

Respectfully,

Ellie & Jay
