Mike & Sharon Bateman

Yesterday (September 9th, 2020) a wildfire sprang up and ripped through multiple towns in Southern Oregon. My parents own a cattle ranch off of Butte Falls Hwy. This ranch has been in their family for decades, being apart of their everyday life, work, etc. 
One of the many fires quickly caught wind, raging through their property, claiming their home, barn, shop, destroying everything they owned. Some of the family was on the property not thirty minutes before the fire made it to their home. They had to evacuate in a frantic race, not knowing how fast the fire would travel. 
Everyone was able to make it safely off the property.
We, as a family, are completely devastated for our parents.  Not only did they lose the ranch they cherished and lived on, but also their second property with their grandparents cabin. 

We are asking for help to rebuild their beloved home, ranch and all that was lost. 

With deepest thanks, we are so grateful for any help given. This is a very shocking time for the family, but we know we will get through this and come out stronger. Rogue Valley Strong! 

Thank you again, 
The Bateman kids
