Karin Ring, 84, is a devoted mother, animal lover, and retired deputy who has always put others first. Living alone in the country with her beloved animals, Karin has spent her life working hard and caring for her three daughters as a single mom. She provided a loving home, even working as an over-the-road truck driver to ensure her family had what they needed. Her passion for animals led her to become a vegetarian and a fierce advocate for animal rights, often rescuing strays and giving them a safe haven. Karin’s compassion extends to her horses, donkeys, and chickens, each with their own story. Crystal, her gentle horse, needs special care for laminitis, while Penny and Rosie, her sweet donkeys, rely on Karin for daily attention. Her chickens are safely tucked away in the barn each night, protected from predators thanks to her dedication.

Recently, Karin suffered a sudden medical emergency while caring for her animals. She experienced a dangerous episode of AFIB, requiring immediate hospitalization and life-saving intervention. Doctors have told her she needs a stent procedure to prevent further complications, but without health insurance, the mounting medical bills and cost of future care are overwhelming. Karin’s condition has left her unable to care for her animals as she always has, and her recovery depends on getting the treatment she urgently needs. The animals she loves so much are also affected, as she struggles to keep up with their care while managing her health.

Funds raised will go directly toward Karin’s hospital bills, the necessary stent procedure, and ongoing support for her and her animals during her recovery. Every contribution will help ease the financial burden and ensure that Karin and her beloved animals can get through this difficult time together. Your support means the world to our family and will make a real difference in Karin’s life.
