Hi folks. My dear friend has been starting over on a small farm she managed to procure after selling her animals and larger farm under the terms of a surprise divorce. She only recently got electricity on her property, living like camping all summer. She has running water, but that was a wait also.

With winter closing in, I'd love to help her get herself and her animals safe and sheltered to withstand the low temperatures that are sure to arrive soon.

My friend is thrifty, does the work of several people, is independent, and loves her animals enough to bring them inside on particularly cruel temperature nights. Recently, the county served notice of a septic tank necessity that costs nearly $7,000! She has mortgaged to the hilt and exhausted her financial resources trying to stabilize the situation. She is truly living hand to mouth at present.

If you are looking to help someone this holiday, I beseech you to consider giving Susan Stafford a boost to ensure she makes it until spring and can keep her animals safe as well.
