Farm Rescue, Horace, North Dakota. They help farm and ranch families in crisis: planting, haying, harvesting, hauling, and feeding livestock when injury, illness, or a natural disaster knocks a family down. It is hard to ask. They still show up. $150 went to that work. The pack showed up.
What they built
Farm Rescue helps farm and ranch families in crisis. Volunteers plant, hay, harvest, haul hay and grain, and feed livestock when a family is hit by a major injury, illness, or natural disaster. Midwest. They call it calling in the cavalry. Proud people. Hard to ask. The crew still goes.
What hit them
The crop and the cattle keep their own calendar. If someone is in a hospital, the field does not wait.
Who depends on this
The family on that land, the season in the ground, and neighbors who would otherwise have to choose between a job and a combine.
The money

$150

  • Gift to Farm Rescue (general)$150

    We did not earmark a single family. Their work is already that specific.

Success in 30 days
Volunteers still going out this season. The collector card is how the pack commemorates the gift.
How they show the pack
Public charity: farmrescue.org, real farm families on their site, a phone number. No patient’s face required.
Other help
They run on volunteers and benefits. This was one gift, not a campaign.
Thanks / faith
Work first. Then the story.
Proof notes
Public charity. Funded. The field photo is an illustration, not a family we visited. Collector card BP-02 commemorates the gift.

Follow-ups

The pack and the person both get a line. The story is not done when the money leaves.

The keep

Collector card

This is not the donation. The pack cuts a card when the work is done, so we can commemorate it. Later these go out as NFTs to donors and volunteers.
