HC Dairy/Mike &Freda Carey Tornado Relief Fund

Donation protected
Late October 18, 2019 HC Dairy Farm in Lakeland, FL was hit by an EF-2 tornado.  Mike & Freda Carey have owned and operated this dairy for over 40 years- he is the last remaining dairy farm in Polk County. He was dropped by his insurance company a few weeks prior to the tornado from claims filed from previous hurricanes that caused damage(Irma, Charley, Jeanne, and Frances). The dairy industry as a whole has be rough for a while- cost are high while prices are low- this tornado certainly hasn't helped. While Mike is not very open to the idea of hand outs- there has been a lot of people asking how they can help. As a family we are asking for thoughts and prayers during this time, if you feel inclined you can donate.  

The funds raised will go towards repairs caused by the tornado that insurance will not cover and anything that will keep our cows happy and healthy!
