A note from Danielle:

Today marks the 13th Anniversary of the founding of Silent Sidekicks. At the beginning, it was just the two of us (Morgan & I) trying to make the World a better place, one smile at a time.

It is hard to believe what Silent Sidekicks has accomplished in 13 years. We have grown into an organization of volunteers throughout Maine and New Brunswick. We have provided animal-assisted therapy, activities, and educational programs in over 100 healthcare facilities, hospitals, schools and libraries in 55 different communities. We have touched the lives of thousands of people and now, we are seeing the next generation particate in our programs.

None of this would have been possible, if not for our Board of Directors, our volunteers (human and animal), and our generous supporters who have believed in us and our mission. To those of you who have stopped to give us words of encouragement, have donated time, funds, and resources to help us to continue our mission to enrich people's lives and promote health and happiness through positive experiences with animalsā€¦Thank you to ALL of you!
I canā€™t wait to see what this next year will bring!

-Danielle
