Loads of Hay to Western Nebraska Wildfires

Eighteen bales of beautiful alfalfa hay on the bottom and sixteen corn stalk bales on top are headed to Osh Kosh, NE for wildfire disaster relief. Thank you to the Kais and the Schmits for donating this load.
This letter was written by Michael and Brenda Kai when they donated a load of hay to Kansas. It is appropriate for this donation as well. This letter is reprinted with their permission:
First and foremost, we give all glory and thanks to God. It is only through his blessings and provision that we are able to share this hay with you.
We know this wildfire season has brought loss, stress and uncertainty. Please know this gift is given with sincere love, compassion and prayers for your family, your livestock and your land. We believe every harvest comes from God’s hand and every blessing we receive is meant to be shared. This gift is not from us alone but from our community and the Lord who provides in every season and sustains us through every trial.
Our prayer is that God will protect your livestock, restore what has been lost and strengthen you in the days ahead. May this hay and the generosity of our community be a reminder that God sees, He provides and He is faithful.
The Kais
