Help bridge the gap for the sake of the horses

Help bridge the gap: Funds desperately needed.
Update: First I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those that donated, allowing kim to focus on the important work she is doing.
Unfortunately, the bills keep coming and the money raised thus far is almost gone. For example, a single vet bill last week was $800 for vaccinations for one horse and dental work on two others. The weekly hay deliveries alone are a $1,000 a time. Hence, the reason for this update.
We are in the final few months of establishing a not for profit called The Loving Farm. It’s the only way to fund the cause on a permanent basis. That said, Kim needs your help with additional funds to make it to at least September.
Please help her across the finish line by donating whatever you can. She is so close to her goal. I’d hate to see her fall short.
As a reminder, the horses in her care bring joy, love, and healing to many, but they also come with enormous costs. Feed bills, veterinary care, and the necessary supplies to maintain their well-being are more than she can afford on her own, and the situation has become increasingly dire. She cannot maintain her high standard of love and care much longer. Without the funds to keep her going for the next few months, these horses—many of whom have already been through so much trauma—will face uncertainty.
Every day, she pours her heart and soul into caring for these animals. She wakes up early to ensure they have food, water, and the medical attention they need. She provides them with a safe, peaceful home where they can heal emotionally and physically.
How you can help: I'm asking for your support to help cover the high costs of loving and supporting her horses. Any contribution, big or small, will make a huge difference. Here’s how your donations will help:
$35 will help supply one horse with the necessary feed, hay and medication for one day.
$75 will help buy one week's worth of feed alone, for one horse.
$100 will help buy hay for one horse for a week.
$250 will help pay for one vet visit.
Consider the fact that the entire annual cost for one horse is greater than $10,000.
Your donation will go directly to ensuring the horses are fed, healthy, and safe. It will give Kim the time she needs to recover financially and continue her important work. It will also alleviate the immense stress of an uncertain future.
Any amount will make a difference, but if you can’t donate, you can still help by sharing this campaign with your network. Spreading the word is just as valuable as a donation!
Please join us in supporting Kim and her rescued horses. She’s giving these animals a second chance at life—let’s give her a chance to make it through the end of the year, when she can be come self-sufficient again.
Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and support.
