We are fortunate to have the opportunity to collaborate with Kevin & April Skillen to get feed to those in need in North Eastern NM. These two are such a blessing to those around them. Thank you both for having such giving hearts and for being so gracious with your time.

The flooding is fierce up north. We have folks calling in need of feed because theirs was washed away and destroyed. Animals are also having to be penned up due to fences being wiped out, unable to graze and relying on being fed hay daily. These folks are tired! Beat down by severe burning and now insane flooding. Interested in helping? Contact us!

We are now on Instagram! And we have Venmo & PayPal, too! Website is still pending, but coming soon.

As fires continue to burn and people prepare for expected flooding from monsoons, we are gearing up to continue helping those in need. Please like and share our page and/or our phone numbers, word of mouth has been our most effective tool. Also, we are still accepting donations as we have loads going it weekly!

Shout out to Travis Day for volunteering and hauling this load to Vegas for us. We are truly grateful for your help!

Another couple of loads went out this weekend that’ll be distributed to dozens of people/animals who have returned home and are facing the aftermath of the fires.
Because of our generous donors we are able to do this. There are a dozen active fires right now in NM and months of challenges ahead for those affected. The need is still there and we are continuing to receive donations. Please spread the word and if it’s on your heart to give, there are several ways. Here’s the gofundme link and if you prefer another route, feel free to reach out.

Kevin & April Skillen are killin’ it distributing for us in their community of Monte Aplanado. 20+ property/animal owners are receiving much needed feed. Special thanks to Veronica Martinez/NMSOL & Daniel Kniffin for their hay donations. And because of monetary donations, we were able to support local businesses (Farmway Feed & Horseman’s Feed) to purchase everything else.

More deliveries were made this week that went both north (Mora) and south (TorC). None of this would be possible without our amazing team of people and all of our donors!

Everybody meet Zia! She is one of the animals we have provided some food to. She is part of the Gaia Sanctuary out of Northern New Mexico. She was not interested in leaving her pen but thankfully the firefighters were able to save the farm where she was staying. We are trying to coordinate some volunteers who might be interested in helping relocate Zia to her new home. If you have any experience with pigs or livestock and would like to help please shoot us a message so we can come up with a couple dates that will work for everyone. Super fun to see such cool animals even among such difficult times. If you are not able to physically come help move Ms Zia she is still in need of some food so feel free to let us know what you would like to provide and we can get it to her or some of our other piggy friends. Thanks so much!!

Some of you may know but there is another fire to the south of Santa Fe/Vegas in Sierra County. In just under 2 weeks it has grown to over 155k acres. They are calling this The Black Fire. In just 3 days we have received calls for over 800 livestock displaced and rapidly depleting the little pastures they were placed on. Many of the resources have gone north due to the Jemez and Hermits Peak fire but this one it rapidly gaining momentum and emergency services are scrambling. We need to get a semi trailer of hay delivered ASAP to be distributed between ranchers in this area. We have a Venmo available to purchase a trailer full as soon as we have the funds. We need to raise $3000 for this location. We have the hay available for purchase and delivery we just have to raise the money. Posted below is the evacuation locations, fire perimeter, and the Venmo account for this hay. These cattle will be out of the donated hay by Thursday morning and we are getting regular calls of livestock being evacuated daily. Please share and encourage others to share. We need to get this $3000 ASAP. Thank you again so much for your continued support!!

About 5 hours of labor went into preparing this semi load that was taken up to Mora this morning. Mono Olivas and Wanda Salazar had most of it dispersed (to 18 families) before dark today! This is what it’s all about.
If you’re in need, please reach out and get your request in. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen today.

05/24/2022

Today was a successful day! 18 families helped with cows, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, peacocks, and rabbits! We are continuing to take donations and get needed supplies to families in need. Thank you all so much for your help in donating and spreading the word.

05/23/2022

Worked on some additional donations and getting a couple deliveries out last night. One of the board members son came out and learned out to shrink wrap and helped with the counts. Pictures later of the great loads we had go out this morning 18 families helped today!

Horse Boredom.
These horses are not used to be penned up full-time. Despite large pens, regular turn out, and feed in front of them 24/7, they just don’t know what to do with themselves. Having been displaced for several weeks and relocated 2-3 times, they’re feeling the full effects.
