Hi, my name is Ellie, and I’m raising money to help fund my journey into swine showing this year! This has been a dream of mine for a long time. I’ve always had a passion for animals and agriculture, and showing pigs is something I’ve wanted to be a part of for years. As a homeschooler, this project will give me a meaningful, hands-on experience and help me stay active and engaged in something I truly care about. I’m reaching out to ask for a little help getting started. Every donation — no matter how small — will go directly toward purchasing my pig, building a safe and comfortable pen in my backyard, and covering the essentials like feed, bedding, and supplies. This kind of project comes with a lot of expenses up front, but I’m fully committed to putting in the hard work. I’ll also be picking up jobs throughout the year to cover things like feed and maintenance. Your support would mean the world to me and help with my startup. If you would like to donate, please know how deeply grateful I am. I will do my best to pay it forward and support others in the future, just like you’re supporting me now. Thank you so much for reading and considering helping me on this journey!
