We spent yesterday in The Highlands, near Virginia City, NV taking down the donated barn and loading up the partially paid for, panels. We raised enough to pay the $2500 down payment on the panels, with another $2,000 due asap. (Again, the price for these panels was extremely low, and it would have been irresponsible to not try and get them.)
I still need Bail for 3 of the 6 horses, transport fees etc. for all of them, and I need the $2000 plus for the horses, by Monday, 9-9-24. At the very least I need to know that people are stepping up and we will get the necessary funds to say YES, and save these babies. I’m told that some of them are in rough shape.
Y’all raised $2500, but to make this a success, we need at least another $4000 to get the babies and finish paying for the panels, etc. There are still other urgent needs that we need to help with, but for now, we just need to get them safe. Then we can worry about geldings and stuff like that. We still need truck and trailer tires, more hay again, milk pellets, grain, etc.
We are at about $1,270 shy of the matching donations for $2500. I still need to pay the 2 workers who drove 8 hours, did much of the dismantling etc. and are currently out there in the sweltering sun, trying to get the new place ready for the now SIX new babies we are saving
I’m not sure what else to say. We really need more help. Thank you to everyone who did step up.
This is a big operation, and it went from a donated barn, that had to be dismantled and moved 8 hours (round trip), along with a trailer load of heavy panels. This is a huge blessing, but we need the funds to pay off the bank and let the horses start a new life. They want to be FED, though, so please be generous when donating.
