I am reaching out to help a friend who is struggling with her health , her finances , and her life in every way !!!  Jessamy Rousam who many of you May know , is having a very difficult time in her life , and has for some time now.  She is trying to get through a horrible time in her life and is embarrassed to ask for help. Again as many of you know , Jessamy was a very successful international jumper rider.  She operated Showstock Stables Ltd in Keswick Va , where she was very successful in sales , breeding and bringing  along many very successful ,and some famous jumpers and hunters  . Some of these were Philco , who went on to be an all time famous horse for David Broome for Great Britain , Dreamy Sam, Chanel , All The Gold and numerous others  if you look her up  the list Is quite  impressive. Aside from the obvious Jessamy started a non profit rescue for dogs , cats and anything that breathes rescue in Charlottesville Va area,  and was responsible for getting a no kill policy for that area. Jessamy has also taken in many down and out professionals,  into her own home ,and business, when they were in desperate situations !  
         Now Jessamy, due to terrible health problems , and some very bad personal things, is in Need of her own help.  She retired well , some time ago !!  Due to some people she trusted dearly , she had lost everything. She is disabled with her health now , and finds herself unable to do most anything physical. She has lost all her savings , due to some people close to her , that cleaned her out. She barely gets by now living in a rental in Charlottesville , trying to support herself , and 3 rescue horses and the last  of her dogs and cats  
      I’m reaching out to help a horse person in need , and hope so much that our horse community can come through again,  for  someone,  that needs help in every way possible !!!  I just hope that people see this and do whatever they can , no mater how small to try to make a difference for one the many horse people,  that have found themselves in this position, in their life  !!  
        Sincerely Bob Crandall
