JYY HERO OF THE WEEK (11-25)

Each and every week, I search the Internet for people who have made a "positive" impact on their community. This week I didn't have to look any further than my email in-box!!

Good morning Nazzy,

I would like to tell you about a local hero. Her name is Teresa Paradise, Teresa is the director of the “Live and Let Live Farm” which is a animal rescue in Chichester that consists of mainly horses. Currently the farm houses 62 horses who have for some reason either been turned over by their owners when they can no longer afford them or find themselves with the farm for other reasons. With the economy the way it is the animals suffer and many times Teresa finds herself encountering starved or very under weight animals which are in dire need of help.

Teresa is on the farm 365 days a year 24 hours a day and receives nothing in return except for the love of the animals and the volunteers of the farm, in which I am proud to say that I am one. Teresa gives of her time, talents and energy without a complaint without asking for anything in return and many of the horses are able to be adopted by loving families because of the work that goes on at the farm. Nazzy although Teresa never asks for anything I think the work she does for the farm truly makes her a “hero”. From Janice Bush

Congratulations Teresa Paradise, you are the "JYY Hero of the Week"!!! Please keep up the great work!! -- Nazzy
