Many of you guys will recognize this beautiful face, but for those who don’t, this is Miss Amelia Palmer. Over Labor Day weekend, Amelia and her family were in a plane crash that took her life and left her parents in critical condition.
I met the Palmers 5 years ago when they joined my 4-H club, Boots & Bullseyes. Over the last few years, the Palmers have made an outstanding impact on our little community. Need help mucking stalls at Fair? Aeron’s there. Starting a meal train for a family in need? Cindy’s leading it. Truck broke down and you need help? Call Earl. Need someone to shine a little light in a time of darkness? Amelia was a master at that. This family has had our back in times of need, now its time for us to have theirs.
Between medical, travel, and funeral costs, the Palmers will need all the help they can get. Here are a couple of ways you can help. Please share this post so we can get as much traction as possible.
🌻 Sponsors:
We are looking for sponsors who would be willing to donate items, funds, or their time. If you have items we could use to create baskets for the silent auctions being held at one of our upcoming events, would like to contribute toward the cost of memorial belt buckles for our playday fundraiser, or would be interested in donating a rifle or other big ticket item for our raffle, please reach out to me directly!
🌻 Participation:
We are currently working on putting together multiple fundraiser events to help support the Palmers. Follow the Boots & Bullseyes 4-H Club page for more details!
This weekend (Sep. 13th & 14th), Legacy Cowboy Campground will be holding their annual Pony Express Race in Idaho City. This race is meant to replicate the historic courier system and will be a lot of fun to watch! They will be holding a beautiful memorial service for Amelia on Sunday and have invited us to join them. Please check their page for more details on a schedule of events and how to sign up to participate!
🌻 Leather Work:
If anyone has leather working skills and would be interested in creating some saddle crosses we could sell, so Amelia can continue riding with us, please reach out to me directly!
🌻 GoFundMe:
Please share the GoFundMe link everywhere you can to help raise awareness and get as much help for the Palmers as possible! (Link in Comments)
