hi
Please spend time to read this.
On 13/7/02 a single woman lost everything she owned in a terrible accident. She lived in a twin mobile home with her animals trying to scrape a living in todays climate.A freak gust of wind put some burning material on the roof from a fire what would be considered a safe distance away.within 5 minutes there was nothing left. She has lost everything and due to a problem with Stratford Disrict Council AND A PLANNING REFUSAL had no insurance as the company would not insure the mobile home till it was sorted-she had full insurance on stables etc,but they did not go up.Although she has a few cattle -her cows which she reared from calves and a few sheep which she reared from cade lambs-her main love is her horses and has been since a young girl.She has lost all her paperwork and office equipment such as her laptop,photocopier,files,movemant recordsall needed to run a business however small. She is a proud woman who expects nothing but really needs help.UKLivestock were informed of the problem and have already gone in and organised feed for the animals in the short term-she lost the silage and have given her some cash(£100)to just buy food etc.She lost all her money as well as her possesions in the fire,we have also arranged water as the supply, until we can replaced the burnt pipes has had to be cut of.We are only a small company who can only do so much,just imagine for a minute what you would do if you were on your own no family and all you had left was the clothes you stood up in.It is because she would never ask for anything we feel she needs help to get restarted -we can never get back her treasured possesions such as photos of here grandfather and rosettes that she had won by her own efforts over the years but we can help to replace the equipment and clothes she lost and needs to replace to try and get some sort of purpose back into her life.The board of UKLivestock have had an emergency meeting this morning and although we are a commercial company are prepared to give free advertising to any company that can help Karen by donations of variuos things she needs-we do not want money but products that she has lost-we believe this will give better value as clothing, boots ,jodphers, are obviously marked up for retail and will represent better value for you and Karen.Advertising on UKLivestock costs £250 per annum and as a background to u s we have nearly 8,000 farming members and the website network at present is recieving on average 1997 log ons per week since January.We are prepared to donate this because as with your products it does not cost as much to put up adverts and links but hope that it will assist your descision in helping. This lady has lost 44 years of her life in one freak accident with no form of compensation, please help us to help her however small. To check authentisity of what we say the details are as follows:
