We are reaching out to the wonderful Virginia horse community about one of our own.

Lauren Griffith has been a part of the community for years and takes care of several horses in the area and has trained many adults and children in our community.

Some of you may or may not know that Lauren is going to have to have 2 major surgeries on her spine.

The first surgery will be at her neck and then after that heals, she has to go back and have multiple vertebrae fused in her back. Both these surgeries are going to require her to be off her feet for anywhere from 6-12 weeks each time. The doctors are very concerned and are trying to book the first surgery as soon as possible.

Lauren makes her living either on a horse or training people on horses. With the extended time off and her limited ability to get around, we wanted to reach out to our community to help her during this time.

Lauren was so happy when she was able to fulfill her dream of purchasing her own home a few years back and we want to help her keep her home through this tough time.

Please help us make sure Lauren has the funds to not only take care of herself but to be able to cover her bills, including her mortgage.

Any amount you can donate will be very appreciated!

Rhonda Williams and Sherri Franklin
