Woodview stables fire needs help

Donation protected

We are Woodview Stables. As many of you may know we had a devastating fire this past Thursday. July 30th, 2015. The arial picture shows our horse barn and riding arena destroyed and considerable damage to our larger bank barn. But, what it does not show is that four hours after the fire was under control in the horse barn, our farm shop was engulfed in flames and destroyed due to extreme heat. This was caused by a careless cigarette from a delivery driver. We have insurance, but with depreciation on all buildings we will struggle to rebuild. Twenty eight horses are at a temporary location until we can rebuild or retrofit our farm to accommodate them. Woodview Stables is owned by 3 people, me, my wife and my mother. My father passed away 8 years ago from ALS. We also have young children that have been greatly affected by our devastating loss.
The horse community around us has been amazing with donations of horse tack to replace what was lost in the fire. Our local community, where our children go to school have also been incredibly supportive with food and care packages. We know people are asking how they can help, what they can do to support us to get our farm up and running. This is how you can help. This is our financial plea. We thank you in advance.
