COMMUNITY APPEAL
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh
A family in our IOST community has experienced a catastrophic loss due to a fire at their farm.
Donations at gofundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-our-family-after-a-tragic-farm-fire-loss
This is what they have shared about this tragedy:
Our family recently experienced a devastating farm fire that has heavily impacted us. The barn on the side was home to around 40 goats, most of whom tragically burned alive, with only a few surviving. The loss of our goats has been especially heartbreaking for us.
We still don’t know what caused the fire, but the flames destroyed our entire warehouse of garages filled with farm equipment, an excavator, tractors, and other machines. A working mechanic garage filled with tools also burned in the fire.
This loss has been overwhelming for us. Our farm is fairly new, and we have spent the past two years getting it to where it is now. The memories we made together on the farm, enjoying the outdoors and caring for our animals, are irreplaceable. We are now faced with the challenge of rebuilding and trying to recover from this tragedy.
The funds raised will go directly toward rebuilding and replacing the equipment lost in the fire, so we can begin to restore our farm and move forward. We are so grateful for any support, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing our story. Thank you for helping us during this difficult time.
