Recovering from rare eye cancer, horses need help

Donation protected
Hi my name is John McCormack. On the 19th July 2021 I had life saving surgery, removal of my right eye due to rare cancer, (Melanoma). For the next 5 years I am still of risk of it because it may have spread. I will be having scans every 6 months to make sure that I still have the all clear.

In the short term there is not a lot I can do work wise as I need time to recover. While recovering in hospital, I got a phone call on Tuesday  evening the 22nd,  to say the caravan I was living in on a farm that I worked on had burned down. I have lost everything. The Police are treating it as Arson. Events on the Sunday  and Monday leading up to the fire look very suspicious.

All my clothes, food, passport, cash, horse tack, their 4 passports and possession I had. I also lost horse hair and tack from a horse I lost to cancer 3 years ago, whom i homebred 18 years before, that's irreplaceable. 

I need to find a place to put my horses, so i know there safe, they are not safe where they are. The money will be used to find a suitable field to rent for my 4 furry friends, pay for new passports and they will all need to be vaccinated and shown on the new passports.

This is not a road i thought I'd ever have to take, any size donation is a help. 

I thank you all for wanting to help, i know loads of people are struggling because of covid. I dont want anything for free, if i can do a job in return for you, then leave it in the comments, anywhere within the UK or Ireland... once I'm back on my feet I'll sort all out. 

Thank you for your help and support 

John
