APRIL

Please join us in celebrating Jessica Tierney, VEWS Volunteer of the Month for April!

 

Jessica has been a VEWS volunteer since November 2021 and currently serves as co-shift lead on our Saturday evening shift. Jessica's co-lead shared the following comments: "Jessica has been a quiet rockstar on our shift for as long as I can remember. She is an amazing human who genuinely loves our horses and our fellow volunteers. I value Jessica as both a co-lead and friend. Jessica has a calm about her that draws people in. She is always supportive and level-headed no matter what is going on around her. We love Jessica’s heart and are so grateful to have her on our team!"  

 

Thank you, Jessica, for all you do for VEWS and VEWS horses!

 

In Jessica's words: " I’ve always loved horses but had limited experience with them when I was younger. In my 30s, I found a rescue in Chesapeake, VA, and a rehab barn with USERL. I instantly fell in love with working with rescue horses and found a kindred spirit in Amy Woodard and my heart horse, Tripp. When my family moved to the Richmond area, I continued with USERL for a short time but when USERL changed its model to foster only, I felt lost without my “horse time”. I found VEWS and it quickly became my new home.

The immeasurable joy I get from watching horses transform under our care and then go on to their forever homes fills my heart and soul. The incredible volunteers who have become my friends are there week after week and we have laughed, cried and learned so much together. I’m so grateful to VEWS for the opportunity to do something I love every week and for the life-long learning and friendships that have become such an important part of my journey.”
