Hi, My name is Annette Kohler, one of Heidi's many devoted clients and friends. Heidi is a single, self-employed mom of 4 who has gone through a lot of life-altering challenges in the past few years, but keeps fighting back up onto her feet, she's succeeded admirably, rebuilding her life from the rubble.

Well, 2021 decided it hadn't quite finished with Heidi and knocked her back off her feet. Yesterday she fell from a loft, breaking her ankle so badly it's going to require surgery and a *minimum* of 8 weeks recovery before she can stand back up on both feet.

As one of Heidi's clients, I am so grateful for her loving and competent care for our mares, I will continue to contribute the cost of her trimming services over the next few months, to give her the resources and time she needs to care for herself as well as she does our horses. I'm hopeful other grateful clients will as well.

If you are a client, or Heidi's friend, I hope you'll join me in offering a hand up to our resilient, feisty and loving friend. Let's be the village Heidi needs right now, and give her that hand up we've all needed at some point in our lives.

All proceeds of this GoFundMe, after the site's fees, will go directly to Heidi to pay medical bills, and support her during her recovery.
