🚨 Update from the Sanctuary 🚨
We’ve been a little quiet lately… truth is, we’ve been trying to figure out how to handle some unexpected challenges.
Last week, while Tommie was driving truck and pulling our 20’ trailer to pick up produce, traffic slowed to a crawl. Unfortunately, the car behind him didn’t get the memo… and plowed straight into the back of our trailer, crushing the rear of our only truck. Luckily Tommie wasn’t seriously injured. He suffered sprains/strains and contusions.
💔 The truck still runs but can no longer pull a trailer…. And we aren’t sure what all was damaged to underbody. We know it broke frame where trailer hitch was welded.
💔 Our trailer—needed for hauling animals, feed, building supplies, and produce—is badly damaged and unsafe to use.
💔 The other driver had NO insurance, and although we’re covered under uninsured motorist insurance, nothing is moving quickly. Over a week later and ins is still waiting for police report, so we are not even sure they will fix truck. The truck has at least $3,500+ worth of damage and the trailer isn’t covered at all. (Pics make it look like only the bumper is messed up, what you can’t see is that the trailer hitch folded backwards underneath truck, breaking welds and truck frame.) 😢
To make matters harder, Tommie remains unemployed after 29 years with the same company, I’m driving nearly 3 hours a day for work, and donations have been at an all-time low. We’ve had to rent a vehicle just to get Beans to A&M, and the unexpected expenses are piling up
with no relief in sight.
👉 Right now, without a working truck and trailer, we can’t:
• Haul feed or supplies in bulk
• Take larger animals to the vet
• Move equipment or continue repairs on property
We truly need help. If you or someone you know has a truck they could donate, sell at a very low cost, or trade in that we could cover, it would be life-changing. We are also so grateful for any support—donations, sponsorships, or even volunteering. Every bit helps us keep going for the animals depending on us and is tax deductible!
🙏 2025 has not been kind so far, but with your help, we can and will push through. We can not give in pr give up - they are depending on us!
❤️ Thank you for standing with us and our rescues.
