Horses Victims of Gustav, Need Help

I received this e-mail from a good friend in the Dallas area. We have been dealing with Ike's aftermath, but we can't forget that there are still victims of Gustav that need our help! Here's what Mary Anne says:

I have posted to the group re: HHERO before & their ongoing efforts to help the livestock victims of Hurricane Gustav. I received another email tonight from Debra with some very graphic pictures attached, so I didn't forward them to the group. If anyone wants to see them, please email me privately & I will forward them to you. Debra has located someone to sell them 4x4 round bales of hay for $8.00 a bale. It sounds like they have to buy 400 bales in bulk to get the deal & the delivery = total $3200.00 all together. She had a donor pledge to match the first $1001.00 all the way from Rhode Island. I know we all are stretched these days with our own issues at home, but $8.00 and one 4x4 round bale can really go a long way to feed some livestock in salt water flooded & oil covered fields. The web address for HHERO: www.hopefulhaven.com from this site you can make donations via PayPal or the address is also on the page for mailing. They are also needing buckets, halters (all sizes), lead ropes, feed (any), fencing, etc. These are also listed on the site. I will be making a trip over there next Sat. I already offered to do any dog transports at that time, so I will include transport of any donations for HHERO as well. If I have enough I will bring the horse trailer to make sure I get everything over to them. She also wanted to thank everyone for their prayers & continued support of all the rescue communities.
