a good cause....

for those of you who have been with me for awhile you may remember i have a friend who owns and runs a rescue ranch in knapp, wi.
the honey do ranch.
donita has been living her dream and is one of the most selfless people i know.  she truely has a huge heart when it comes to her passion....taking care of animals. 
on more than one occasion she has allowed me to come to her ranch and photograph her animals and be with her horses.

i am so sad to say that this morning her barns burned down and 80 of 100 of her beloved animals she has rescued and taken care of perished also.  it is so incredible sad....and i know she is hurting tremendously because of the loss of her rescued animals.

i have not spoken to donita yet.  i have only heard thru friends and news reports of the incident.  what i do know is she is planning on rebuilding in the spring.  
if you could find it in your heart to donate even the smallest amount of money towards rebuilding her passion it would be wonderful. 
the website where you can find more info on her location and about her efforts.  please take the time to watch the quick video about her the local news station has done.

again.
this woman is a saint.
she has taken these animals in and created this beautiful service for others to enjoy in a petting zoo. 
until recently all expenses have been paid for out of her own pocket.  most costs were covered on a donation basis.
she just received approval for a non-profit.
her helpers are ALL volunteer.
she loves these animals and has rarely turned one away.  and when one is adopted out...she does extensive screening to secure a safe enviroment/home for them.
this fire has been devastating.
please consider a small donation.
