Too "BAD" to be "TRUE"?
Donation protected
Is it too BAD to be TRUE? My friend Meredith has been hit with so many catastrophes in her life in the last few years that we don't know where to start. Please consider joining us to help her, and there are so many ways in which to do that.
Her story began several years ago and takes a few moments to describe. Meredith is a very accomplished horse and dog trainer in the area, who is also very strong and independent. But there are several things that have happened that make this story absolutely incredible. To keep things simple, I am simply going to list them.
1. She was attacked by a stallion and almost killed.
2. A Portion of her barn collapsed from the snow and her insurance wouldn't cover it.
3. She struggles with Sciatica and diabetic neuropathy.
4. She recently spent 2 weeks in the hospital for one of the largest abscesses in the colon that the hospital has ever seen that erupted externally (they almost amputated her leg) and she has no insurance
5. Her small mobile home is falling apart: leaky windows, faulty electrical outlets, inadequate heating , leaking roof, and difficult access.
6. The decline in the national horse market has adversely affected the horse boarding part of her business
How can you help?
1. Pray for her. She strongly believes in the prayers of the faithful.
2. Help us replace her home. We have found someone willing to donate a small home, but it will take between $7K-$10K to get it delivered, setup, and connected with a handicap ramp.
3. Help us pay for her medical bills. We don't know exactly how much yet.
4. Help us with her business. We are helping her with the horses and could use more boarders. As soon as she is back on her feet, she will need more dog training business. She specializes in training working stockdogs for herding cattle and sheep on the farm and for stockdog trials.
5. Help us with her mortgage on the property. She still owes a considerable amount and if her business doesn't get better, she will be unable to make her payments.
6. If you are local and we are not able to raise the necessary funds in time, we will need help with labor in getting her existing home up to living conditions
Meredith wants desperately to be able to get back to her life and her independence, but the task is too great on her own. We have been helping her get medical coverage, but it will not cover all these bills. If she doesn't get help, then she might lose everything she is fighting so hard to get better for. When she gets better, will she have a business and home to go back to? Please help us to help her.
