Dixie Fire Support For Lightning T Ranch

Tara and her Daughter Kaya are the operators of this woman owned livestock ranch located in Greenville California. They have been severely impacted by the Dixie Fires. Because of the mandatory evacuations Tara in one day, had to evacuate 12 horses , 7 dogs ( 4 Karakachan livestock dogs) , 2 house kitties , 4 exotic lizards & a parrot in one day . Sadly a herd of goats , a flock of chickens and some barn cats had to stay on the the property as she could not find adequate evacuation space for them all. Thankfully they are all safe for now.

Tara & Kaya are living in a motel room with their pack of animals in Susanville . The horses are at the community college in Susanville . Tara has to drives back and forth to her property to take care of all the other animals daily. When she is back on the farm she collects all the chicken eggs and delivers them to a woman who makes food for the fire-fighters in Greenville. She also is taking care of many of the other horses and livestock evacuees at the Community College for other people whom have also had to evacuate. At this point it looks like they will not be able to return to their home for at least two weeks. The expense of the motel living, feed & fuel is becoming overwhelming for this small team of two. 

We are asking the horse and farm community and anyone else that cares to, to help with relief for their immediate needs: gas, lodging and feed for all the animals. It's such a hard time for so many so we thank you in advance for any support you can offer Tara, Kaya and all the animals in need.
