Rustic Road Farm "Ready, Set, Goat" Fundraiser
Donation protected
A couple of weeks ago, I saw a post on Rustic Road Farm’s Facebook page about one of the mama goats getting ready to give birth to her kids.
In the caption, owners Marc and Luis Bernard mentioned how cold the outdoor temps were.
They begged her to not go into labor that night and said how they were looking into heating the barn for their sweet mama goats and babies/kids.
They stated something we could all relate to – “Let’s hope it’s affordable.”
That got me thinking: How can I help?
Being that I am not a heating company nor a woman made of money, I took the advice of another Facebook user who commented on the post and created this GoFundMe with permission from Marc and Luis.
Marc and Luis run a phenomenal farm and allow all of us to mingle and snuggle their animals. Heating the barn is going to cost them around $3000* and being a small business owner, those kinds of funds just aren’t available at this time.
I would love to help them offset this expense and I’m kindly asking you to donate whatever you can.
And if you can’t, please share this link and help Marc and Luis keep these goat mamas and kids warm and cozy during our crazy Midwest winters.
Sincerely – Kerri Lee-Young
*Patriot Heating & Cooling have quoted them a price and have provided them a very generous discount to install a 91000 btu unit. Once the funds are raised and secured, we will schedule installation with Patriot Heating & Cooling and Rustic Road Farm will provide ongoing updates.
