Hay for Larimer Cty Evacuated Livestock
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
HORSE FRIENDS AND ANGELS: WE STILL NEED HELP, PLEASE SEE BELOW INFORMATION.
EMERGENCY SUPPLIES FOR EVACUATED ANIMALS (link! Click here for where our new efforts are!)
Our hay fund is fully funded, and Barbara Grofe is coordinating timed deliveries to the evacuation centers as they can store it. We feel confident we have met that need, which is SIMPLY AMAZING. They are in need of other emergency supplies though, and we've decided to start a separate fundraiser for shavings and emergency supplies for (primarily) The Ranch/Budweiser Event center. Barb has been in constant contact with the Center's management and will continue to provide updates as to what they need and what will be purchased. THIS IS A NEW AND DIFFERENT FUND if you wish to contribute. If you've already contributed, THANK YOU and please share this one. I've been receiving messages that people still want to help even though the other is fully funded.
original post:
Due to the devastating Cameron Peak, Mullen, and Cal-Wood fires, many large animals and livestock (over 200 at the time of writing this) are being evacuated to The Ranch/Budweiser Event Center in Loveland CO. They are in desperate need of grass hay. Barbara Grofe (well known horse rescue advocate) has graciously brokered a deal through a hay supplier to get hay "at cost" to the livestock in need. So many of our friends and fellow equestrians/farmers/ranchers have been effected, let's try to raise money so that their animals can be well cared for with as little impact to individual pockets of evacuees as we possibly can. If you can't donate hay, please consider donating funds to help our friends and neighbors in their time of need.
