In the Era of only fans and Patreon, we have Patera saying "don't send me a dime. Take care of your babies and your community". One of the many reasons she's so loved
🧡 THANK YOU! 🧡

I never get tired of the videos of you and the baby goats! I know you don’t know me from Adam, but I wanted to share with you an answered prayer. Yesterday, I got results of my latest CT, to see if I was still cancer-free. I’m always so nervous because I’ve had breast cancer 4 times. My scan showed no evidence of disease!!! God is so good!! Even with the world in such a mess, He had time to answer this old lady’s prayers.
God bless you, Patara!! ♥️
❤
Great news!!! I'm so happy for you. I am a breast cancer survivor. Was diagnosed in June of 2021.
Awesome congrats
I'm so happy for you❤.
@@sararussell6182… Thank you!!!
Work for a big box store part time that doesn't offer benefits. Finally, signed up for ACA healthcare and no longer feel guilty about having to use a government program. If the government will give the illegals freebies, even though they have not paid into the system, then I no longer feel quilty getting benefits after paying into the system for 50 years.
Be careful. Once on, they hound u. Don't sign up for My chart or any health chart log ins. Info gets third party shared and sold. Also hacked. They will encourage u to take all v's!! As well.
Don't they take it back out of your taxes?
I Completely Agree With You ❤
Don't feel guilty if you need it 😊❤
I agree with you should 100%. It’s more blessed to give than to receive. So many are hurting. We need to reach out to others. Especially the hungry
I got a new grandson today! Glorious gift from our Lord - he is perfect, Mom is doing great. Blessings running over
More Americans are struggling than people think. I have been waiting for senior housing and my current rent in regular housing is outrageous. I pray I can hold out til senior housing is available. Thank goodness I am a prepper at heart. Thank you for your channel.
❤
I know it's hard some one I know played thier game they had to be " homeless " for 7 days then they got low income housing .... It's hard it is ... I am sorry you are having to go thru this
Wait times for senior housing is ridiculous! Hope you get your new home soon. Peace and blessings to you!
Prayers for you. My granddaughter is on and off the streets. 😢I understand. 🙏🙏🙏
Wait time around here for senior apartments can be up to 1 year! I was able to get into very quickly only because several people went to nursing homes (or died).
Our country needs to get back to the values of honesty and integrity.
Absolutley and fast to.
Very True n Amen 🙏💖
YES, I TOTALLY AGREE!!! Thank you for that!
I did a Patara thing today. 51 years old, first time ever shopping the $1 section of Dollar General, filled two Christmas bags with about $30-35 worth of toiletries, cleaning supplies and snacks. Took these bags to the front porch of "The Drug House." Because *everyone* matters, and these people are the daughters and sons of heartbroken mamas - that's how I see it. My autistic son carried a bag and I carried the other one. I told him we were "sharing" and he smiled. We will share more; so blessed to afford to do so.
God bless you, honey. I never would have thought to do that. I'm sitting here in tears thinking about this act of kindness. You're an inspiration and such a lovely example to your child !
❤
Patara, not many give a darn. Thank you. You made me cry. It's nice to know that someone cares about those of us who have been forgotten. May God bless you. 💙
❤️🙏🏻❤️
Patera
People shouldn't be forgotten. 😢
You’re never ugly, in any way Patara, A great soul.
amen!!
I home schooled both my boys in the early 90s ! Congrats to your son...its great news! Most of us would love to send this person a card. To this woman who feels alone I am sending you warm loving thoughts and prayers....you are not alone you now have hundreds thinking about you ! ❤
Amen ❤
I’ll be here friend. I know many of us would. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Amen
I'm an almost 62 year old woman. In 2021 my health declined and I lost my job, couldn't pay rent and ended up homeless for 5 months. With help from a couple of friends I was able to rent a run down mobile home , grateful for a roof over my head. Was able to start drawing benefits but once bills are paid I'm broke. I'm talking rent, utility bill, internet, I don't have a phone bill or tv. I'm doing without my blood pressure meds and I'm having to get food from blessing boxes or food pantry. I tried to get food stamps but apparently I make to much. My Thanksgiving meal was a can of beans and a can of tuna from a blessing box. I never thought it would be this hard just to live when I got older. I'm praying for all people having difficulties in these times especially older people. Thank you for all you do.
♥️🤍💙
Praying for you, Miss Monica 🙏💜🙏💜🙏
Prayers Monica 🙏 🌹
Walking in the state forrest next to where I live with my dogs, a large tree bough six inch wide hit me right between the eyes. Felt the impact and my brain rock. Then i was on the ground blood and large clots pouring out of both sides of my nose. My knee hurt it had hit somethong. I made it back to my house. I ended up with a trauma very painful nose and a concussion. So I am down resting with headaches, sensitive to noise and light. Ordered some mushroom drops to heal my brain. With so much to do i am now struck down. But God was lookImg after me that tree boough could have killed me. Thats why they call them widow makers.
Please get well soon - prayers for you!
Praying for a quick recovery. 🙏
Prayers 🙏 being lifted
Your guardian angel sure was with you! You are blessed.
🙏🏻 prayers for a speedy recovery.
I'm 72, and many people in my age category just don't make it known when they're struggling. I guess that's just the way we were brought up. We, well I, was taught not to complain because there was always someone somewhere that was worse off than you. I still feel that way. It might take me 2 months to save up for a yearly haircut, but I know that somewhere there's someone without something to eat or a roof over their heads, and my haircut doesn't seem like a big deal anymore. I am blessed. No, I don't have a lot of things that "normal" people would consider common place, but I am still blessed at what I have. God Bless you and yours Patara, and congratulations on Beau's graduation! 🤗
I think it's hard for us to even comprehend what is coming. Not only financially, but what is happening with the invasion at the border of primarily Military aged men from the Middle East and China. The Cartels are already here. We're already invaded.
Angry!!
My daughter inlaw lost her job back in July. She just received a job offer and will start January 2nd! My prayers for all that have lost their job.
We are struggling in Australia too. Rent, the prices of food and general living is horrendous. These times are truly horrible because it's not just the cost of living, it's society's morals and the filth that is being pushed onto our children.
We've been living off our garden and stores for two months! My husband finally starts his new job Monday 🙌 He was laid off after ten yr. Job. Thankful we worked all summer canning and storing or we'd be in food lines ourselves with 5kids!❤ I'm thankful my grandparents instilled in me to depend on no one but God. Hopefully we get a check soon for flour,sugar, and rice restocking!
My husband and I are both on SSA. They have stopped our Food Stamps, Medicaid and we're even cut off from our commodities. We found a good food bank, so we're blessed with that. Our son overdosed in July, so we're just going through the motions. Hard to celebrate through this grieving, but we're staying prayed up. Love your videos and share them all. Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends. Be Blessed.
Hang in there. Lost my oldest to overdose 7 yrs ago. One day at a time. God bless you both.
I am so, so sorry about the loss of your son,
God Bless you and your husband..please cherish and love each other..🎉
❤
Praying for your family.🙏😢
I had to use my Aldi's quarter for an item at a Christmas Bizarre. I realized on my way to Aldis I didnt have a quarter or even change. I tried to get the man at register at the thrift store to add a quarter to my bill and give me a Quarter. He couldn't understand what I wanted. A lovely lady behind me, gave me a quarter. She was awesome, completely understanding how hard it is to just come across change. Every quarter counts. Thank you to all of the generous loving people.
It's sad I'm always trying to get through that store without a cart 😮 I look like a fool
You do not look like a fool
Saw a video of an Aldi's in the UK where people had to use their smart phone to let them through some gates into an Aldi's store, more WEF CRAP!🤬🤬🤬 Glad they are not in my area!😲
Congratulations to your son, you and James! In times like these it's so wonderful to see a young man loved so that his parents gave him an education and a life he can be proud of!! You done good, girlfriend!!!❤
Im 71, alone except for dogs, wish I could go back to church but so many are false and uncaring...never any invites from "friends", lol...but Ive been a loner all my life
Same here Kenneth. Im not 71 But I relate to all the rest ❤
I haven't gotten on CZcams in a long while sis. Had a lot going on raising this new baby girl since April. She's almost 8months old and I have a teenage son I'm almost 40 and yes it's a struggle everyday but it makes me realize and see the good and the GOD in every moment
Congratulations on your new baby.
I think you're in a good place in your life. After I turned 40, I had enough previous experience combined with some maturity. (thank goodness) I started to make decisions that were more rewarding in the long run...Good for you...🇺🇸 👍☕
I had my son at 39,, 👍👍👍
I feel you. I just turned 49 and I'm raising my nieces 4 babies. They are a 3yo girl, 2yo twins one boy, one girl, and a 8 month old girl. It's a struggle sometimes, but I found out yesterday our foster care certification went through so we can adopt them.
Gotta share a a kindness shown today ~ shopping at Aldi, walking across the parking lot to go inside. A lady called to us asking if we need a cart. Yes, I'll take it ( I do this at any store to give someone a hand in returning the buggy) I opened my purse to get a quarter out, she told me no, all good. I payed it forward by giving the buggy to someone coming in as we were going out.
**Also, a pound of butter is $1.99, limit 6.
Now I'm crying. Dang it. I wish I had my grandma and parents. Please, just one little kindness to someone else can change their whole day.
Amen🤝
I STARTED, LAST CHRISTMAS, CROCHETING THROW BLANKETS FOR EVERYONE FOR THIS CHRISTMAS. WENT TO THE $5 STORE FOR GRANDKIDS "ONE ITEM" EACH. DOING THE BEST WE CAN. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR SON ON HIS GRADUATION. FOUND OUT MY FIRST BORN, WILL BE A PAW PAW COME MAY!!! YES, TIME DOES FLY BY SO FAST. LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND KEEP PRAYING.
Stocked up on small gifts to last through 24 and 25. Figured I would buy now so when the prices go up, I already have these on hand.
You could power your home if you could harness the energy of those tails wagging.
😂😊
They're sooooo cute, aren't they!
Oh to have just a fourth of their energy!
I miss my goats but the cows are all we can handle. They are pretty cute too but they move in slow motion compared to a goat.
Lol❤
I wish that things were different. I wish that my family cared.
Congratulations to Beau and you. I have two homeschool granddaughters. One graduated from college this year and is now a PhD student. The other is a sophomore is college. Keep telling the truth about homeschooling.
Make a cookbook of all your recipes!!! You’d have 3 pages of just cornbread. 4 pages of biscuits. All those quick and easy meals. Heck I’d buy one. Maybe 3. To share with friends.
I’d buy it too
I'd buy it for sure
I'd buy a book or 3 😊
I’m in!😊
Yes, please!
Matthew 5:5
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
❤ God Bless you and strengthen you everyday🙏
Working on chores, last minute Christmas ideas and putting back food.
Thanks Patara for your steadfastness.
Remember y'all to Pray, Plan, Prep
I homeschooled my two kids and have no regrets whatsoever because they both have turned out to be great adults.
A lot of my customers are elderly and very lonely. When I go to clean their homes it's a big deal for them (and me), they're struggling with loneliness so much. I take a cat toy for the cat or just something very simple and it makes their day. Just knowing that someone cares goes so far❤❤
Patara, I sent you a box in the mail yesterday. Just a little something for you to send our love and appreciation for all you do. All homemade/handmade. I forgot to put a note in it though! 😅 Love and prayers to all our Appalachia Homestead families and friends.
I think us older people don’t have as many friends as we used to because of not working and a lot of our friends have passed. Mostly just have family and if you live far away from family you get pretty lonely
I agree.
Hang in there. You are loved.❤
I totally agree I’m in my 60’s. I got sick with cancer in my mid 50’s and my doctor told me the first time I met him this is your last day of work you can no longer work. WOW to leave your friends that you have made over the years through work just like that was a blow. Because of my illness some of my friends would come to see me and call but others started fading away even family started not calling as much. Cancer (Ovarian Cancer stage 3C) is a very scary thing and the odds of me beating it were very slim. I did go into remission after 1 year and we moved from the West Coast to Texas to be closer to our son and his family unfortunately 6 months later my cancer returned. Now being in a new state, away from friends and family and not knowing anyone but our son and family has made it very very lonely and with the way this country is going is making it even worrisome for some of us and for our children.
I am a 79 y.o. handicapped homeless Veteran. By the grace of God I have Credit Cards so I can stay in a motel and eat cheap at the Waffle House. I have 14 Grandchildren all have been homeschooled.
Where are you? You can get help.
14 grandchildren and you are homeless? That makes no sense.
Those babies love you. Its so sweet to see them growing. Thank you for allowing us to be part of their lives.❤
Christmas time can be very difficult emotionally for those that have lost a child through estrangement. . Please pray for them. ♥️
Smart cats choose freedom!
It makes me smile when I see your baby goats!!!
Thank you Patara for being here for so many of us. ❤ Have a wonderful weekend😊
trying to keep some of that jingle in my pocket credit card is paid off!!!!!!
Don’t we wish, we could put our arms around all these people? People have become so isolated. Merry Christmas to all of you and your viewers. Plus, if you need food, please go to food banks, people are taking food to them. The food banks are there for you. Please don’t use these places if you don’t truly need them, there are truly hungry people out there. Merry Christmas to All. 🎄🎄🎄
I would love to buy a Tshirt and would wear it proudly!!! Yes, at 70 YO I would wear it everywhere!!!!
So proud of your son and you Patara for setting a strong foundation for him. I can relate to feeling lonely since my best friend of 48 yrs passed, yet not alone. I have Jesus living inside of me and He will never leave me. My hope of Glory!!
God bless you Patara and all.❤
There are a number of tornados in the Tennessee area. There has been touch down in many areas. Keep safe, Patara and family!
🙏🏻
If you aren’t smiling from ear to ear while watching all of those little ones coming in for hugs & attention from Patara then you seriously need to check yourself. 🐐 💜 🐈⬛
I agree with the lady who said there are few who care. I have 4 adult children, and 3 of them have chosen to walk out of my life and have taken all 9 of my grandbabies with them. Its been years since I've seen any of them. The one single daughter I have still remains in my life, but she's in law enforcement, and I don't get to interact with her a whole lot. She helps me with the heavy-duty stuff around the house, and I do see her on all holidays and my birthday and we do take weekend trips now an then! I so appreciate that from her. I live by myself. I'm self-sufficient even though I'm getting old, I do most things myself. Times will get tougher because I lost my job this last October. I'm not being a crybaby, just saying I saw this coming a while ago and am now realizing it. Thank God I've been prepping the last couple of years, or I'd be in an even bigger mess. Social security and a couple of cleaning jobs will sustain me. I do know the Lord and trust in Him. I'm just missing the rest of my family, especially my grands, and especially during this time of the year. Thank you for this video, Patara. I cried, too. Much love to you and to everyone else out there who is feeling left out by the ones that should love them the most. A definite sign of the times, don't you think?!
I had a nice neighbor guy stopped by a few days ago n gave me a bag of home made cookies with a bow on it. He knows I'm alone n lost my last sibling last spring n my kids live at the opposite end of the country. I had hired his son to do a few odd jobs for me over the 5 yrs I've been here n he let me know he had recently moved out. He said, you have done some very nice things for us at times n I just wanted you to know, we know you are here, I hope you enjoy these cookies. Sometimes when you feel invisible or alone God comes a knockin'. It was a better day because of that guy. ❤
Thanks Patara. Two things if I may. I treated myself to a takeout pizza the other evening. I have not done so in quite some time. I got it from a family business that I have liked for many years. I was shocked by what I found. A large pizza, which was actually the old medium, with only pepperoni was $22! Yes, I can afford that but............. no, I won't be doing that again anytime soon. It was only a few years ago that I paid half that much for an actual large pizza. Also, yes, the elderly on fixed incomes are being especially hit hard by inflation. Their property taxes go up on homes that they worked so hard over many years to pay for. More and more are forced to sell them because they can no longer afford to live in their own modest homes. This is PURE evil. All the best to you from the mountains of Central PA.
I’m an aide in a public school and I’m gifting 3 teachers with homemade vanilla extract I started in early June. I even used quality vodka and extra Madagascar beans😂. I am also adding a half pint of very local honey harvested from a fellow farmer friend. These are liberal “city folk” teachers and I’m sadly concerned that they won’t appreciate these gifts but I’m doing it anyway. Way better thought to my gift versus overpriced Starbucks drinks which I know they’d prefer more.
Hopefully you may be surprised and they will love those gifts. I know I would love them.
Sounds like a beautiful gift. 😊
Starbucks gift cards are the most thoughtless gifts. I know because I have given them in the past. Expensive drinks plus long wait times. Best investment is a coffee maker or latte machine.
I think they will suprise you
Wow I'd be thrilled to receive that. How lovely ❤
I'd wear a T-shirt if you made some . You are such an inspiration to so many. I love your channel!
If Dollar 25 Tree goes up AGAIN I will no longer go. After they went up this last time their items also shrank. Not good.
I'm right there with you. We will have to analyze everything that we buy there and see if they still have the best price. I'm thinking that many of them will not be. Not as many wants in our future.
What a joy to see your animals sharing their love with you. Listening to you is like listening to an older sister warning you what is good and bad in this world and sharing her feelings without hesitation. Carry on, Ms. Patara.
I truly admire all the hard work you and your family do and still have time to put out videos. I can only wish I had your knowledge, your strength and a small piece of land to work.
Roasting off chicken I found on sale this morning. Will vacuum seal with gravy and have quick chicken and rice or noodles for quick meals. Cutting some collards and greens from garden to chop small to add a punch of nutrition to soups and stews. Staying busy.
You are right on target 🎯 Patara! The stock market, employment numbers, inflation numbers, all manipulated. Ultimately, the Fed will start printing money again and we will see hyperinflation. Remember, their goal is you will own nothing, eat the bugs and be happy. Keep up the great work. Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄🎅🏻🙏

I wish I could give that lady a hug and invite her over❣️
Hubby and I took fresh garden veggies to two older neighbours all summer long. I just made ChexMix, which really is to die for, and hubby went out and did his deliveries to you guessed it, the same two neighbours. They’re not really alone in the terms we think of that, but we still share whatever we have access of with all our neighbours; but for sure these two. ❤️
I Love watching the Love you have and give to your animals. All of them.And they Love you and return it back to you.❤😊They just love you.Take care Patara and have a blessed day.😊
Our town hall has a food bank and blessing boxes and Turkeys for those in need. Also senior center has a food truck once a month to help. The numbers of elderly seniors has increased greatly who are in need. There is also help to decrease your electric bill and heating assistance to fill your oil tank.
You have helped me to start preparing and now my family is coming around thank you
I’m crying too I want to send her a card too. Honey idk who you are but I’m going to pray for you. Yes Patara, Jesus is the reason for this season & about others. I’m going to fill our blessing boxes in my town now too, thank you! I cherish your videos & appreciate you more than you know. Love & blessings sent your way. 💕
Sending prays to all of you that are dealing with storms in your areas tonight. Be Safe tonight.
just an empty nester and i need prayers plz snd thank you
You got it prayers sent🙏
Prayers coming your way love, spiritual hugs as well, you are never alone!!! 🙏❤🙏🌸🌻🌺
I didn't know goats were so loveable.
We all needed this talk, young lady! Thank you...🇺🇸 👍☕
What a wonderful conversation today! Truly needed it. I help my 82 yr old sister with any & everything. Sometimes I get discouraged for having to change my plans to get her to an appt or whatever she needs but I always try to remember, its what God (and my dearly loved mother whos passed) would want me to do, especially as a Christian. Thank you for your wise words of encouragement Patera! Congrats to Bo (Beau) on his graduation! You did good mama 😊 love & prayers to all 💜 🙏
You spoke truth about what ur mom and GOD would have you do. I lost my last sibling in 2006. She was my last sibling. I took her to her medical appointments and hospital when needed. I was there as her last sibling should be. I’m the last of the siblings (6) and I surely miss her. We had lost our parents before she past in 2006. Im saying all this to say you are doing the right thing. May you be blessed for all that ur doing. May all your kindness be returned to you 100 fold. 🙏🏽
We all have a little food at the end of a meal. Invite a lonely neighbor or relative over occasionally. You will be blessed.
I bought those divided trays to make tv dinners for those that Don't cook or are short of grocery money
Congratulations on Beau's College Graduation! ❤
My heart goes out to that woman. I know exactly what she is going through right now.
Thank you for speaking up for the lonely and hurting at this time! Wish we knew that young lady’s address!
Sent my 3 adult children a 25 year prepper bucket of 75 servings of dehydrated black bean burger mix. I told them to put it away for a rainy day! I can feel the eye rolls all the way across the country! Just couldn't bring myself to spend money on junk. I am sure to hear about this one! Merry Christmas to all!
Sweet Patara your heart is showing. Great message today. We love you. Blessings for all 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you,Merry Christmas to all from the mountains of Kentucky 🎄🎄❤️
I hope you know how much I appreciate you and your videos.
God bless you and your wonderful family! 🙏
Ditto!
I enjoy reading your comment sections on your videos. Your viewers are smart folks for the most part!
Prayers for safety for you and your family during these storms. 🙏🙏🙏
Attacks by the enemy has suddenly ramped up at our house, like a new wind of stress. Reminds me God is our defender and we must put on his armor and guard our testimony of his goodness regardless of what we see. Love your videos they help me get through my week!
🙏❤
Also, this I'm writing on Sunday December 10, 2023, hoping that Patara and family are safe and well following the deadly tornadoes. Prayers for Tennessee 🙏
Lol totally my youtube life. 😊 Thanks for advocating for us, youtubers. Very appreciated!!
A lot of people are alone because we've had so many recent generations where families only had one child and they've never known what a big holiday celebration is like and you are the last and eldest member of your family line. Having a Christmas party similar to a Friendsgiving could be fun and no gifts required just a smile and thanks for any blessings. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.
Love those goat babies!
Praying for us all in the upcoming year. It's gonna be bad. Hearing it from a lot of different sources. It's all about to get real. Thank you, Patara, for helping to keep us all on our toes!
Those babies are adorable ❤
How do you say, "Woman that kisses goats", in Cherokee? Lol, I've been wondering every time I see you with the new babies! You are so sweet. Thank you for all your encouragement! Much needed.
Hi Patera, you hit it out of the park this a.m. Have a wonderful day and congrats to you, James and your son on his graduation! Love from Crow, Oregon
I'm in Portland. I've never been to Crow. I'll look see. ❤. I see I was born in Eugene . Looks lovely.
Congratulations to you and your family for succeeding when the world says you can’t!
Sitting and watching you (injury keeps me still) and in tears at the heart you share. Thank you for speaking to the lonely and the feeling lost ones who do not have anyone to share with. We are blessed and so what we can…
💥Congratulations on your son's college graduation. Great jobe Beau❣
Got a pig slaughtered yesterday and brought in a new one - hoping for some bacon seeds in about 4 months. Our little wethers are doing well. Rabbits are doing great - I sent a bunch to auction a couple of weeks ago as our freezers are too full for more, lol.
Nursing my health issues and doing all I am able at the same time. It's not easy, but needs must. We also home educated our children, and they have done well.
We have so much to be thankful for, truly, because without God, we wouldn't be where we are. Not gonna lie, I wish we had more - more land to raise more critters and grow more gardens/orchards. But what we have is what we have & I am thankful for it and do my best to get the most from it.
My prayer is for all of us in this community to let God lead us, guide us, and that we do our best to help those in need as we are able. 😊
Thank you. No one I know is struggling. They are thriving...cruises, new cars....I have struggled my entire life. Just harder now that I am old....
We have a septic company so I get to see so many different people I think I am going to keep a few simple gifts in our truck ❤ for when I think someone might need some kindness thank you 😊❤
Hello, I’ve been watching you for a while and I’ve finally woken up. We live in a small apartment so I don’t have much room for prepping but at least we have a start. Thank you!!!!
Patera, I just love how you interact with your animals. It is the sweetest image I've seen all year long.
Congrats to your son !! I stopped by the Dollar Tree + more yesterday as I heard Reading Glasses were up to $1.50 and they are. Cashier said more, if not all items will be going up slowly to $1.50. Also wanted to say, glad I'm not the only one that laughed like that when I heard they think they are taking my kids or grandchildren to fight that war,
Congratulations to Bo! Congratulations to you.
Don’t over stress on if it is inflation or deflation or something else. JUST continue to pray and prepare.
My son James joined the army this year and is about to graduate basic training next week. Then he is off to airborne school and then Fort Bragg or Fort Liberty, one of the highest deployment bases. He is only 19. Please pray they don’t send my James.
All of the essentials like car insurance, Homeowners insurance, Utilities, Rents, Health insurance etc. have all increased. I pray that everyone makes the changes necessary to survive.
Amazing how fast the baby goats are growing !!!
Prayers for all who are out there struggling. You are not forgotten. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
