Hey piggy friends… we could use some help… we are beginning the tear down process and our insurance is trying to fight us because technically there was no house on the property just barns.. ugh… so we are trying to rebuild as best as we can from your kind donations..

to start we need dirt…does anyone have clean fill dirt they are looking to get rid of? We need at least a truck load or two if anyone has any leads on that and..

We need to know if there is someone out there that can donate some skill to help us build a small cinder block solar room maybe 4x6? Nothing fancy or big with just a window and a door with wood shelves on the inside. Something that will be relatively fire friendly should happen again while still keeping the room cool and dry.

We need to get this started as soon as the cement pad is cleared off . We are still watering with buckets so it will be a nice start to the new year to get our water back up for our furry friends!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!!

We got this beautiful message of hope today. Much needed as we go through this difficult time. When we don’t know the how’s and the why’s or even if will we make it through tough times… remember this message…

‭Romans‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭NIV‬
[13] May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We are gathering a list of equipment that we lost to include the pump serial numbers, tank models, building info and the solar equipment information. To all the amazing people reaching out to help with material donations and labor help… We will be in touch over the next couple of days as we sort through the damage and get regrouped. We will post a needs list shortly. It’s been a very sad and stressful time and we appreciate all your support, kindness and love . Without it, I’m not sure how we would get through this. All of the animals are safe and we are bucketing water to them until we can get a temporary set up and we are working really hard to get our footing back. Our Hidden Valley community is one of the most kind communities I’ve ever been in. We are so grateful we chose Maricopa as our home.

Before and after. We got so lucky that none of our volunteers or animals were harmed during this horrible fire! If you have the means please consider donating to help us rebuild our very essential water building, storage and trailer. https://gofund.me/d708e02c

Thank you to everyone who has reached out and everyone who has donated! The piggies and goats are incredibly thankful. If you would like to come out and help out on the ranch please feel free to reach out.

Hi, we are ACTS of Kindness a 501c3 pig and goat rescue out in Maricopa. On 12/12/23 a fire started in… Anna Toro needs your support for Rebuild water towers

12/12/2023

We had a DEVASTATING fire at the ranch today. Luckily all the animals are ok, just a little scared.
It started in our barn and spread to our water towers, our water hauling trailer and the pump system. We lost everything we use to give the piggies and goats water. In the barn we had our AC units, all of extra plumbing supplies and extra water pumps. So we not only lost the one we use but also the backups. This has been a huge loss and we are scrambling to find a new method to keep the animals hydrated. We started a GoFundMe to help us rebuild, we run this rescue completely off of your gracious donations and volunteer work. Any little bit you are able to donate will be a tremendous help!!!

This is so worth the share to all of our piggy parents out there. My mother in law who will be 96 this year loves it when we bring her friends to snuggle. If you have a piggy and a human in need of a snuggle please share. These amazing animals bring so much joy and we are so blessed and thank God every day for giving us this life. It’s a life that very few understand. These pictures are a glimpse why we cherish the life we were given so much!
