<div><em>Even the little ones help haul buckets to the pens!</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"Allie, we have 18 cents left in our account," my sister Amanda whispered through tears at 6AM last Tuesday. "My husband doesn't get paid for three weeks and I don't know what to do. He took a double shift so will be gone for 9 weeks. I have two horses that are rehabbed enough that I could sell them, but... it's not what's best for them."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm watching Amanda slowly lose hope while running a horse sanctuary in rural Alaska. She has a rapidly changing breast mass, no health insurance, and her family is living in a house so toxic with mold it's poisoning them all. For 10 years, she's hauled water daily—unknowingly exposing herself to cancer-causing chemicals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amanda has never asked for help in her life. She's always been the one saving everyone else. Now she's the one who needs saving.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>30 Years of Healing - Now Fighting for Her Life</strong>
</div>
<div>From age five, Amanda found refuge with horses, escaping an abusive home. For thirty years, she's dedicated herself to rescuing traumatized horses using gentle, natural methods.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While her husband works away for weeks at a time, he pitches in with all the farm chores whenever he’s home. But when he’s gone, Amanda is left to manage 13 horses, 5 children, 5 dogs, and 2 cats—shouldering $3,500 in monthly feed costs—often entirely on her own in Alaska’s unforgiving conditions.. Every dollar Amanda earned from lessons and training went straight to caring for these animals. Now, because of her illness, she can no longer board horses or work outside the home to earn that income. This isn’t just a business—it’s her life’s calling and purpose.
</div>

<div><em>The 13 horses living as a natural herd - Amanda's approach lets traumatized animals heal by allowing their nervous systems to unwind</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Toxic Home That's Destroying Her</strong>
</div>
<div>After losing their rent-to-own property in 30 days (needing $550,000 they didn't have), Amanda's family found the only place they could afford—a house hiding deadly <strong>mold contamination</strong> and a <strong>contaminated well</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All five kids developed severe asthma from mold exposure. The well tested positive for <strong>E. coli and extreme iron</strong>—completely unsafe. For 10 years, Amanda has hauled water daily, storing it in plastic tanks that leach cancer-causing chemicals. She's been unknowingly poisoning herself while trying to keep her family alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Her Health Crisis - The Horses Keep Her Fighting</strong>
</div>
<div>Amanda has a breast mass that's rapidly changing and causing severe pain. Without health insurance, she can't get diagnosis or treatment. <strong>The mass is inverting</strong>—requiring immediate medical attention.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Everyone says "sell the horses and solve your problems." But these 13 horses aren't her problem—they're her lifeline. When pain is unbearable, she gets up for them. When despair hits, she finds strength in their healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>"I'm not scared of dying," she told me. "I'm scared of what happens to these horses. They finally found safety. I can't break their hearts again."</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/91731065_1749504370640115_r." width="100%" />
<div><em>Six months with no emergency vet calls due to flairs with her holistic care - saving thousands of $ while giving him a pain-free life</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>October Deadline - Then It's Too Late</strong>
</div>
<div>We have until October or Amanda could be trapped in toxic conditions all winter:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•	<strong>Housing Crisis:</strong> We are driving from Florida to Alaska with our 5th wheel next week but October is the last month RVs remain habitable in Alaska
</div>
<div>•	<strong>Well Drilling:</strong> Must happen before ground freeze—impossible until spring thaw otherwise
</div>
<div>•	<strong>Medical Emergency:</strong> Her breast mass needs immediate treatment
</div>
<div>•	<strong>Winter Costs:</strong> Materials and contractors become exponentially more expensive
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If we don't act by October, Amanda faces 6+ months in toxic conditions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What We Desperately Need: $320,000</strong>
</div>
<div>•	Emergency Housing &amp; Demolition ($95,000): Tear down toxic house, secure safe temporary housing
</div>
<div>•	Safe Water System ($55,000): New well, stainless steel tanks, reliable truck to end 10 years of poison
</div>
<div>•	Medical Care ($35,000): Breast mass treatment, health insurance, transportation to specialists
</div>
<div>•	Horse Feed ($42,000): One year of $3,500 monthly costs for Amanda's 13 lifelines
</div>
<div>•	Emergency Support ($93,000): Crushing debt, survival needs, urgent repairs
</div>
<div>Your impact:
</div>
<div>•	$50 feeds one horse for 5 days
</div>
<div>•	$350 covers one horse's monthly feed
</div>
<div>•	$15,000 ends a decade of toxic water hauling
</div>
<div>•	$55,000 provides complete safe water before winter freeze
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Amanda's Message to You!</strong>
</div>
<div><strong><em>"I've spent 30 years proving horses heal when allowed to be horses," Amanda told me. "But I can't fight this mass, haul water, manage 13 horses, homeschool four kids, and carry crushing debt alone anymore. These horses finally found peace. Please help me keep their sanctuary alive."</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For three decades, Amanda has been the first to step up whenever someone—or some animal—was in need. She’s jumped in to help struggling barns, and even donated her own breast milk to nourish 12 other babies. One mother from Texas flew all the way to Alaska just to pick up a cooler of Amanda’s milk for her adopted newborn. Amanda’s compassion knows no bounds, and even now, she continues to give to others. But she’s never once asked for help for herself. <strong>Now, she’s the one who needs saving.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We have until October.</strong> Every dollar brings her closer to survival and freedom from the poison that's killing her.
</div>
