Melissa Candow hasn't added a story.
My name is Melissa Yost-Candow and I the president of Starting over animal refuge in which we are a 5 star organization and over 180 reviews can be viewed on www.greatnonprofits.org . I have spent most of my life now 36yrs old rescuing and saving animals with 3 beautiful children who has all grown up with a passion and zest for education and compassion . I now own my own home in front of in-laws farm that we had been operating on for the past 5 years . Due to a recent tragic passing of a family member the farm is now being pushed to sell which will leave all These animals without a home or a safe haven to go to. Ten of the 30 acres is being offered to purchase for 80k . We are just 5k short and we have 2 weeks to purchase and close before the animals are EVICTED off the property! Yes evicted! Please help us complete a forever home for starting over ranch. $5k is all that is needed to secure these animals or the horses will have to dispersed which we are trying desperately NOT to do and the rescue will shut its doors to the dogs and puppies until we can rebuild elsewhere . At this time it's either lose our family home . Or lose our organization. Please help us stay TOGETHER! If everyone on my Facebook donates $5 we can achieve this goal. If you can't donate please share. No negative comments are needed .
