Jesse and Judy Bachik have always poured their hearts into their farm, caring for their animals, growing produce, and sharing the fruits of their labor with everyone around them. Their barn was more than just a building—it was the center of their daily life, a place where they raised animals, sold eggs and vegetables, butchered pigs, made sausage, and welcomed friends and neighbors with open arms. Their generosity has touched so many, and their farm has been a source of comfort and community for years.

Tragically, Jesse and Judy’s barn burned down overnight, leaving them with a devastating loss. Not only did they lose beloved animals in the fire, but also two side-by-sides, at least two snowmobiles, and countless personal belongings. The barn was uninsured, and the loss is total—affecting every part of their lives and livelihood. In the aftermath, Jesse and Judy are facing the enormous task of cleaning up, caring for the animals that survived, and trying to find a way forward.

Right now, they need help from friends, family, and the community to get back on their feet. The funds raised will go toward immediate cleanup, supporting their animals, replacing essential equipment, and, with hope, rebuilding the barn that meant so much to them and everyone who knew them. If there’s anything you can do to help Jesse and Judy build the barn back better than ever, please consider supporting them. Your kindness and generosity will mean the world to them during this difficult time.
