Gingersnap Rescue Needs our help!! They are in need of a new barn so I am turning to you (Macaroni kid family) for your help! They need to raise about $45,000 to replace the barn. They have done great by getting to $15,000 but that is just over 1/2 way. If you can find $5 in your wallet, car, couch cushions please send it to them! Every little bit helps them get closer to that new barn! 

If you don't know what Gingersnap Rescue Ranch is, I can sum it up in one word~ AMAZING!


The rescue is run by Eryn and her Husband Benjamin. This is a story that needs to be heard! 


"In 2015 we started as a goat milking farm/rescue. We spent 3 years building our farm and goat heard. In April of 2018 a wildfire started on I-25 on a very windy day it travel 15 miles in 8 minutes. We loaded up about 60 animals but had to leave another 60 behind. We had an officer help us set everyone free but because everything was already burning he told us to get out before the worse part of the fire hit. I had my 2 kids and 60 animals in my truck. We grab all the small and disabled animals. We drove through 4 sets of barbed wire fencing to get out to a road. When we returned that night most of the goat heard was killed and we lost all our pot belly pigs. Everyone else was burned and hurt. At that point the goat milking farm was gone. The only thing left standing on our property was our house. Thank God for our house. Because the house was still standing it gave us hope and the ability to keep rescuing animals. The goat farm was gone so we spent 8 months cleaning up and working on making the ranch a nonprofit. Now we have been a nonprofit for 2 years. In one more year we can start asking for grants. We plan on doing wild horse rescues in the future as soon as we can build stalls for them. Right now we take in farm animals from individual people who need help with there animals. All the old and disable animals stay right here on the ranch. The young and health animals do get rehomed to make room for new animals that need help. All animals get rehomed as pets or farm animals. Never as meat."  


Gingersnap Rescue Ranch is the ONLY Non Profit Farm Rescue in the state!!! 

While that is amazing, it is also the reason why they need our help!! If you came out to the Macaroni Kid FIND YOUR FAMILY FUN event on May 6th, Eryn was there with her Mobile Petting Zoo!
