Help Mel and Isaiah Rebuild After Barn Fire

Hello, my name is Kayla Fredrickson and I'm helping friends after a devastating barn fire. Unfortunately very early this morning (8/19/24) Mel and Isaiah are facing every farm's worst nightmare with their barn going up in flames. They have lost all their animal equipment, tools, feed, yard supplies, kids yard toys, baby chicks, rabbits, and their main storage. I have been helping organize donations of supplies and money to help take just one small thing off their plate. They luckily had the building insured, however their deductible is $5,000 and as everyone knows insurance takes time to pay out and animals cannot wait for care. This gofundme is to try and help replace some of their items, pay their deductible, and help pay to replace the feed for the animals. Mel and Isaiah are active in our small community of Grandy, Stanchfield, Cambridge area in Minnesota and would drop anything to help a friend and I would love to give back just a bit of that help.

If anyone is local, donations of supplies are very appreciated as well (haynets, feed, chicken, goat, horse, rabbit supplies, as well as lumber, yard tools, tools in general, lumber, etc.). I've also been taking small donations privately via my venmo @deerwillowfarm.

Thank you everyone who has already helped. I know just how much it is appreciated!
