An offer of help for Miss Donna Rieder's pets

Returning a gesture of kindness

Comments re article 56327 Miss Donna Rieder asks help with animals By Wendy Gousha

Miss Donna, we would love to help you out. Maybe if you could list what all you need, we and others could drop it off or even have a local supplier take individual donations over the phone and have someone pick up the food for you. Just let us know what all you need and we will bring it. You watched over our babies and our dearest Blue when we needed you and we will be happy to return the gesture. Get well soon and keep the faith. - Wendy Gousha and Ben Briscoe

What a great story, Wendy and Ben!: What's inspiring is the willingness of Adair County folks to help out, and on the other person's part, a willingness to accept help when it's needed. We're impressed that, here, those being help vow to return the favors as many times as they can, as soon as they are able.

If ongoing help is needed with the feed, we'll be happy to post any information on CM Miss Rieder and Ben and Wendy see fit. We, too, wish her a speedy recovery. - Ed Waggener

Miss Donna Rieder asks help with animals

She was in a horrible head-on accident, is out of work, faces reconstructive surgery with no medical insurance. Friends are helping with household bills. She is the guardian of 11 goats, a dog, and six cats. She's hoping animal lovers might donate food for the animals until she is recovered.

By Miss Donna Rieder

I was in a horrible head-on collision on October 25, and in addition to broken collarbone and ribs, I have had to have surgery to reattach and pin my right kneecap and reconstruct my right foot, which was crushed. I don\'t have medical insurance, and will be out of work for at least three months with no income (I was self-employes cleaning houses).

I have friends helping me with my household bills, but I sure could use some help feeding my animals. If there are any animal lovers out there who might donate a bag of feed or two, that would be a huge blessing. I have 11 goats, a dog and six cats. Anyone wanting to help please call me at 270-805-1527 Thank you! --Miss Donna Rieder
