A Personal Message from Randall Trythall:
I’ve kind of kept this off my personal wall. Why? Because I’m struggling to deal with it.
On the 4th of this month on our farm in Zambia, a fire jumped our fire break. My sister-in-law was the only one home with the baby. The fire moved fast. We lost our daughters house, 3/4 of our fencing, our skid loader, welder generator, water lines and so much more.
I’m struggling with this.
We estimate around $100,000 of stuff lost. I know things can be replaced but this is a gut punch. The plan as of right now is we are doing a fundraiser on September 13th at the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in East Petersburg. We hope to raise funds to replace critical equipment that was lost and to put in a retention pond and buy pumps for fire suppression. One fire company in New York has donated turn out gear.
I’m not going to lie… we need your help. Please ask everyone you know to come to the event or to give online OHHZ.org to help with this loss. I will also share the event on my page. Seriously we really need your help!
