PLEASE HELP AND/OR SHARE!!!
Looking for someone to volunteer truck, trailer, fuel, and time to haul some of my hay to a donation drop in Oklahoma panhandle. Loaded in Lindale, TX.
I can take 13 or so, but I have 38 to move. If someone had a semi, it would be one load and I’ll fill your tanks. If you have a gooseneck, I’d ask that you pay your own fuel because I’ll be buying my own.
I know it’s a big ask, but it’s a big need too. I have a connection looking to connect me with trucks, so it’s possible they can handle it, but trucks and fuel is the biggest scarcity right now.
If you would like to donate, let me know and I’ll connect you with a good spot for it. Tax deductible, of course. And if you haul, your fuel/mileage will be deductible via paperwork from the organization.
As for item donations to send up, search for the needs and see if you can put together some things on the list. There’s a large variety needed, from personal supplies to firefighter personal needs, to animal and vet care, to livestock supplies like troughs, mineral feeders, and fencing (tposts and wire, mostly), as well as bottle calf milk formula and bottles, protein tubs, mineral, cubes, and of course, hay.
If you want to donate to me, I’ll pool the money and supplement from my business to get some fence supplies. I’d like to get $2,000 to buy goods. I cant give you the deduction paperwork but might can get it for you. And if you have any barbed wire or tposts to give, let me know.
If I can’t get a semi lined up, I’ll be making the trip sometime in the first week of March. Possibly a few days before. So we have a little time to get things gathered.
I hauled a load to the panhandle two years ago and saw the endless black. The gratefulness in the eyes of those on the ground. The pain in the eyes of an amazing, insanely tough woman whose losses were far more than grass, yet she had the perseverance and faith that they’d get through it. It’s incredibly humbling. Let’s gather up again and show the world what rural America is made of! When Texas has disasters, the whole country and then some has come to our aid, let’s not let our neighbors to the North go without the same support!!!
