Keep Bindi Farms Going for future generations

Donation protected
Hi I am a person who lives in a small town, and we have many local family farmers. I saw our neighbor's plea for help to save her family business. Even though I have not met them personally, I feel I had to do something besides donating some money myself. So I started this go fund me action.
here is her story as she printed it on our local site:

Friends…
I am asking for help for our farm. Farming has no money in it. Farmers do it out of passion and to provide for our families and community. Sixteen hours a day, seven days a week of work. On call 24–7. We miss school plays when assisting with a difficult birth, family dinners when chores are not done, and we can’t even dream of a vacation. It’s a hard life, and it keeps getting harder. Feed costs have risen 40 to 50% in the last six months, and we just aren’t going to make it. I’m buying two days' worth of food at a time And praying that money rains down from heaven to cover the next load. As a single mama with a dairy and poultry farm in the impossible state of California, I am at my wit's end. I am trying to provide for my community and create some sort of life for my daughter. It’s become impossible. Anything towards animal feed to get us through is greatly needed. I’ve sold off as much stock as possible without compromising my program, but it’s not enough.
