Help Us Rebuild Our Livelihood and Adventures

Dear friends and community,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to share a deeply personal story that has brought us to a challenging crossroads.

Recently, while doing a Christmas visit on Christmas Eve, with my pony, Princess I experienced an unforeseen accident. As I drove up a narrow, winding driveway to a beautifully decorated mansion, we accidentally struck a low-hanging limb that caused significant damage to my horse trailer. Unfortunately, this trailer is not just a vehicle; it is the heart of my business, Princess the Unicorn and Friends, and a vital resource for my family.

At Princess the Unicorn and Friends, I bring my pony, dressed as a real unicorn, to life, creating magical moments for children and families through pony parties, events, and community visits. I truly believe in magic and making dreams come true. My goal has always been to spread joy and wonder, especially during the holiday season, but now, instead of being the one making miracles happen, I find myself in need of a miracle and a little help with some magic.

This trailer has been instrumental in allowing me to do what I love while supporting my family. I’m still paying off a bank loan of £3,500 for it, and without it, my livelihood is at serious risk. The thought of losing this opportunity is heartbreaking, especially after years of hard work to build my business.

Moreover, this trailer holds a special place in our hearts as it has been a safe haven for my young son, Rueben, who is autistic and struggles with selective mutism. He finds comfort and confidence in our trailer, which has allowed us to venture out as a family and create precious memories together. We’ve decorated it together, transforming it into a cozy space where we can escape and explore the world around us. It has opened doors for Rueben to experience new adventures and find joy outside of our home.

Now, with the trailer damaged and my financial resources stretched thin, I’m turning to you for support. I’ve always given back to our community, donating time and services to local charities and schools, believing in the importance of supporting one another. However, I now find myself in a position where I need help. Replacing or repairing this trailer is crucial for my business and my family’s well-being.

I’m humbly asking for your support in raising funds to cover the repairs or potential replacement of my trailer. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us get back on our feet and continue our work in the community. Your generosity will not only assist in restoring my livelihood but will also help us create more magical moments for children and families in our area.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your support means the world to us, and together, we can keep the magic alive.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Clare
