I'm raising funds for my parents after their ranch was burglarized three times in one week. Nearly all of the equipment and tools they rely on to keep the ranch running and care for their horses were stolen, and because they are on a fixed income, replacing everything on their own is not something they can afford.

This loss has hit hard because these were not extra items sitting unused. They were the things my parents depended on every day. Taking care of the horses is such a big part of my mom's life. She devotes so much of herself to them, and she has also used those horses to give back to children in our community, including children with autism, by giving them a safe place to connect, learn, and simply enjoy being around the animals. They also help children who do not have the means to afford their own horses or expensive riding lessons experience that connection.

Donations will help replace:

• Horse medications
• Stolen tools and ranch equipment

These items need to be replaced soon so my parents can keep the ranch running and continue caring for their animals.

If you are able to help, any donation or share would mean so much to my family. Your support will help my parents recover from this theft and get the tools and medications they need to care for their horses again.
