  • Thank you for continuing to show up!

    When we hit our first goal, we were stunned. When we hit our second, we were moved to tears. This community's support is helping us build stability for Owen & it's helping us create opportunities.

    We've raised the goal to $3,000 to help fund educational and enrichment activities as part of Owen's homeschool journey. We’re looking for art supplies, science kits, museum trips, and hands-on learning tools. We want to give them every chance to explore their interests and rebuild their love of learning.

    The farm is already a classroom, but with your help, we can make their education even richer. Every dollar goes directly to creating experiences that help Owen grow, learn, and heal.

    We never expected this level of support. You're not just helping us meet basic needs anymore—you're helping us give Owen the kind of education they deserve.

    Thank you for believing in our little farm family.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Thank you for continuing to show up!

About this fundraiser

Our family recently grew one little person larger when we stepped up to provide a safe haven for our 12-year-old sibling. They came to us seeking refuge from sibling violence and family trauma in Pennsylvania, and we're committed to providing them the affirming, nurturing environment every child deserves. 

Our resources are stretched thin with this unexpected but welcomed addition to our household. We're adapting to life as a family of three while trying to establish stability and security for a child who has already faced too many challenges.

Currently, we're working to cover:
- Basic necessities (clothing, school supplies, food)
- Medical care
- Transportation
- Educational support 
- Creating a proper bedroom space

Any support helps us provide the stable, affirming environment this brave young person needs to thrive. Whether it's $5 or $50, every contribution helps us build a safer, more secure future for our growing family.

We're grateful for any assistance as we navigate this transition and work to create the supportive home that Owen deserves.
