24K Retrievers Hurricane Help
Friends & Fans of 24K Retrievers and Destiny & Gil Martel and Marie Blevins! We need your help!
As you know, Hurricane Michael devastated much of the Florida Panhandle as well as parts of Georgia, including Cairo, GA (just a sniff over the Florida/Georgia border) outside Tallahassee. This is where Destiny & Gil's home is, as well as their incredible training facility that has become 24K Retrievers, Canine Training and Conditioning. They have a competition NADD dock diving pool, a barn for barn hunt classes and competitions, agility courses, kennel building and beautiful state of the art kennel runs and acres of property that is fenced for the safety of all dogs there training and competing at training classes and events. See their web site here: https://24kretrievers.com/
Thankfully, Destiny and Gil's home sustained minimal damage during the storm. However, the damage to the property was significant. There are insurance policies in place to cover most of the repairs to the fencing, downed trees, barn, pool. etc however the deductibles are significant, as are things NOT covered such as loss of income that exceeds policy limitations as well as things we don't think of like entire kitchens of food being spoiled after an extended power outage.
We are hoping to raise money to cover deductibles as well as replace every day items that we all take for granted. The funds raised will be sent directly to Destiny and Gil's bank account once our goal is reached for their immediate financial relief, and any amounts raised above and beyond the goal will also go to Destiny and Gil's bank account to help offset their lack of income since the storm has hit.
Every penny helps and if you can possibly pitch in, I know that Destiny and Gil will be forever grateful.
Many thanks!
