Help Tallulah Rebuild After Truck Fire
Donation protected
Hello my name is Renata,
I created this GoFundMe to help my youngest sister, Tallulah. Her beloved ol truck (named Big Red-see pics) overheated & burnt to the ground this weekend in a fire on The CA Grapevine.
Tallulah was making the 3+ hr. drive headed home for her Homecoming Dance, from the “WCBRA”
a Barrel Race end-of-the-season Finals she has worked all year for.
While packing up stuff, my Dad received a call, her truck had overheated and started smoking she pulled over and saw white smoke and immediately got out and got her horses out of the trailer.
People started pulling over and helping, a stranger jumped into the truck while on fire, trying to save things.
Once it got too big, they started backing up and then everything exploded into flames.
This all happened in a matter of minutes.
We thank God that she made it out safe.
We thank God that she saved her two horses from the trailer she was towing.
Tallulah, has been working since the age of 14 saving up her money, working multiple jobs to pursue her passion of Barrel Racing & working with horses.
She achieved her goal and was able to buy herself a horse, she named him Titan. Tallulah works every day to provide for her horse and save so that she can compete with him.
Tallulah, (with her Dad’s help) found & bought an old truck to be able to haul her horses in.
Parents gave her a used horse trailer for her Birthday, so she would be able to tow her horses to and from competitions.
My sister is one of the hardest working people I know! She has worked for everything she has.
She has been working her butt off just to follow her passion and this is a devastating blow.
All the contents of her truck were lost inside.
Horse medicines, burnt.
Wallet with cash, gone.
Priceless gifts/memories, gone.
Her custom cowboy hat she saved for, gone.
Competition wear, gone.
Boots, gone.
MANY sentimental irreplaceable “things” gone…
I’m making this GoFundMe, to help her try to recoup some of the things that were lost.
Thank you for reading, thank you for your support, even a kind message to her would mean the world.
Everything can be gone in a second, so remember to always say I love you.
God is good.
