A holiday story of encouragement …When you think you just can’t do anymore.. YA GOTTA MEET MOLLY!!, a gray speckled pony!
We recently received this email from one of our supporter. It’s a story we find very amazing and wanted to share it with all of you! When you think you just can’t do anymore.. Ya gotta meet Molly! Meet Molly. She’s a gray speckled pony who was abandoned by her owners when Hurricane Katrina hit southern Louisiana . She spent weeks on her own before finally being rescued and taken to a farm where abandoned animals were stockpiled. While there, she was attacked by a pit bull terrier and almost died. Her gnawed right front leg became infected, and her vet went to LSU for help, but LSU was overwhelmed, and this pony was a welfare case. You know how that goes.
But after surgeon Rustin Moore met Molly, he changed his mind. He saw how th
She protected her injured leg. She constantly shifted her weight and didn’t overload her good leg. She was a smart pony with a serious survival ethic.
Moore agreed to remove her leg below the knee, and a temporary artificial limb was built. Molly walked out of the clinic and her story really begins there.
‘This was the right horse and the right owner,’ Moore insists. Molly happened to be a one-in-a-million patient. She’s tough as nails, but sweet, and she was willing to cope with pain. She made it obvious she understood that she was
in trouble. The other important factor, according to Moore , is having a truly committed and compliant owner who is dedicated to providing the daily carerequired over the lifetime of the horse.
Molly’s story turns into a parable for life in post-Katrina Louisiana . The little pony gained weight, and her mane finally felt a comb. A human prosthesis designer built her a leg.
it off too. And sometimes, Molly gets away from Barca. ‘It can be pretty bad when you can’t catch a three-legged horse,’ she laughs.
Most important of all, Molly has a job now. Kay, the rescue farm owner, started taking Molly to shelters, hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers. Anywhere she thought that people needed hope. Wherever Molly went, she showed people her pluck. She inspired people, and she had a good time doing it.
‘It’s obvious to me that Molly had a bigger role to play in life, Mooresaid. ‘She survived the hurricane, she survived a horrible injury, and now she is giving hope to others.’
Barca concluded, ‘She’s not back to normal, but she’s going to be better. To me, she could be a symbol for New Orleans itself.’
The bottom photo shows the ground surface that she stands on, which has a smiley face embossed in it. Wherever Molly goes, she leaves a smiley hoof print behind.

MEDIA WITHOUT BORDERS - Buy iTune gift certificates for your loved ones on this unique Website!!

Media Without Borders …everyone deserves good entertainment… MediaWoB allows anyone with a valid credit card or PayPal account to buy iTunes gift certificates that can be redeemed at the United States iTunes Store.
While there are iTunes stores available in other countries, none of them have as big a catalog of items available as the US store (currently more than 6 million songs, 100 000 podcasts, and 27 000 audiobooks). In addition, many iTunes features are only available at the US store:
- More than 350 TV shows (such as Lost and Heroes) from nearly every major network and cable channel, available the day after they first air in the US.
- Buy or rent full-length movies at near DVD-quality that look great on your iPhone, iPod, computer, or AppleTV.
- Games and Applications for your iPhone and iPod.
While the range is obviously incredible, the best thing about the US store is that (at current exchange rates) it actually works out cheaper than many other country-specific iTunes stores!!
Unfortunately iTunes only allows you to shop at the US store if you have an American credit card, which is where MediaWoB services come in.
