5M Ranch Fire Relief Fund

Donation protected
We, Heather Lyle (Maupin) - Tom's and Deb's daughter, Quent's sister & Kim Tormanen -Audrey's mom, are establishing a way to raise funds for Tom & Deb Maupin and Quentin & Audrey Maupin, operators of 5 M Ranch a 6 generation farm that was hit by the 4 County Fires December 15, 2021. This wind storm produced hurricane strength winds ranging from 70-107 mph. These winds then caused power lines and poles to break and created static electricity that started a chain of out of control fires that devastated many parts of their ranch in NW Russell County. The fires totally destroyed Tom and Deb's home and Tom's work truck, which he had bought with joy in 2000. Tom and Quentin lost over 300 cattle including family pets, 2 family horses, hundreds of acres of grass, miles of fences, and right over 1000 prairie hay, CRP, cane, oats and alfalfa bales. Quentin and Audrey also lost some possessions that were in Tom and Deb's house as they were in the finishing touches of repairing and rebuilding their house from the May 2021 flood. Ranching and farming is their passion and they are making plans for how to move forward, which, Lord willing, will mean building a new homestead for Tom and Deb, building fences, replacing cattle, developing a spring grazing program and everything else in-between. Please keep them in your prayers. All monies given will be greatly appreciated as they begin this new journey. THANK YOU for all your support, prayers and monetary gifts.
