Arabian Rescue Mission, Inc.: Disaster Response and Recovery Grant Report

How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?

Lumber and contractor to rebuild a barn damaged by a tornado.

On June 26, 2018, a tornado hit our Kentucky farm, causing major damage to our back barn, the roof of the front barn, our trailers, and our fencing and minor damage to the house. We had 10 stalls that needed an entire new roof, electric, and supports, and our front barn roof sustained damage and needed to be replaced.

Without this grant, we would not have been able to house all of our horses in the inclement weather, especially with winter coming.

One of our permanent residents, in the sanctuary program, is Charlie (first photo). He is 40 years old and blind and when it is bad weather — icy or very snowy — he is brought inside where it’s warmer and he has nice shavings with fresh water, hay and feed. His picture is attached.
