Love to all from Miss Donna Rieder I'm amazed at the compassion and generosity of people around here - DONNA REIDER Miss Donna writes: I have to say I am amazed at the compassion and generosity of the people around here. I have spent the better half of this morning on the phone talking to complete strangers who want to help feed my animals. Liz Tyler brought out a bag of goat feed this morning, and a nice lady named Linda Byrd is bringing some more this afternoon. Betsy called from TSC and said someone had bought goat feed and left a giftcard for me. I had a nice talk with my dear friend Ben Briscoe, whom I hadn't talked to in ages, and he and Wendy are going to help organize this so that the feed can come as it's needed (I don't have a lot of storage space). I am near to tears with gratitude, and just wanted to say Thank You and God Bless to all of my wonderful new friends!
