Ya'll have checked off the first part of Amber’s winter care need, her hot water heater!!!!!

Amber's hot water heater ($1,033) is fully funded and we are officially starting on this project today! Because you showed up so powerfully for her, we are now humbly asking you to help us take this next critical step in ensuring her safety through the harsh Indiana winters and beyond.

Because of your immense generosity, we are now expanding Amber’s Giving Tuesday campaign to include the desperately needed backup generator for the barn. We are hopeful that with your help, we can tackle this goal too! We are asking for the lowest end estimate we have gotten so far ($8,000), and we will continue to update totals as the project progresses and funds allow.

When (not if) we lose power, Amber loses the heat that keeps her fragile body safe. Moz, Marty, and our roosters also rely on heaters to survive freezing temperatures. Without power, they lose heat, we lose access to water for everyone, and everyone loses the basic needs their lives depend on.

This generator is not a luxury.

This is not convenience.

This is life saving.

We do have a small gas-powered generator, but it isn’t sustainable. It produces toxic fumes. And it cannot run multiple heat sources safely or reliably. Worst of all, if the power goes out overnight while we’re asleep and we don’t catch it quickly...the consequences could quickly be devastating.

After back-to-back winter storms, severe winds, and already losing power once, we are terrified of that moment arriving. We cannot wait for tragedy to strike. We need a real, safe, reliable generator. We need it hooked up and ready to switch on the second we lose power. And honestly, we need it now.

Your support has already transformed Amber’s winter. Now, we are asking you to help protect her and her friends from the dangers that come with every icy storm, intense wind, and every power outage.

Amber has faced more than most beings ever will. Yet with your love, she continues to overcome every obstacle in her path. You've helped her rise over and over again. Now we ask you to lift her again.

Please help us reach our expanded goal to install the backup generator that will keep Amber warm, hydrated, and safe all winter long.

Your gift is more than a donation. It is warmth. It is safety. It is life.

Thank you Kanda Family, from the bottom of our hearts, for helping Amber and her friends thrive, today, tomorrow, and through every storm ahead.
