Family's Barn Fire Has No Insurance Coverage

Prayers and help needed for my family!

Aside from us adult children, my parents also have adopted and foster. They have 6 kids at home right now. The animals had just been locked up for the night in their 100-year-old barn so that they didn’t get out and freeze in the cold temps.

My dad arrived home for the night and everything was fine, or so it seemed. About 10 minutes later, two of my little brothers ran down the stairs in the house, screaming that the barn was on fire. My parents immediately ran outside and the entire 2 story barn was already engulfed in flames. Within a very short amount of time, it collapsed. The fire department and police came right away to help and were able to get the flames mostly out before it caught the chicken coop or the house on fire.

There were about 50 goats in the barn at the time and all were lost. This includes the mama goats, baby goats, and pregnant goats that had not yet kidded. They also lost the new farm truck with a hay spike on it that they had very recently purchased after 25 years of pushing the hay bales by hand. There were generations worth of tools in there, a 4-wheeler, go cart, motorcycle, generator, tractor, a fridge and 2 freezers full of food, all the lawn tools they own, all the feed for the: goats, chickens, horses, and all the supplies for the animals including saddles, bridals, lead ropes, halters, and so much more. On the second floor, our dad had an entire gym setup, as well as our mom’s Pinterest worthy organizational set up of shelving that covered one whole wall of tubs storing all seasonal decorations from both ours and their childhoods, camping supplies, survival supplies, etc.

My parents are the kind of people that are always right there to help out immediately when anyone ever needs it. They didn’t have insurance on anything so it is all a total loss.. If anyone can help them out during this time of need we would all really appreciate it. This will go toward being able to rebuild and recoup maybe even a fraction of what they have just lost, which they believe to be well over $150,000. Thank you all so much for reading this far!
