As we reach the end of another coal season, you would like to think that the stresses of life would dissipate, but that is not always the case . It was just announced that starting next week there will be no water in the village for the next couple of months. We are in good shape at the farm and guest house with our own back up system that we can refill as needed , but there are many in the village with out back up. Thinking especially of the seniors and the disabled and those with lots of little children, we realise that now is another great opportunity for us to reach out to the community to share and to show His love.
Our plan is to retrofit our "coal truck" and turn it into a "water tanker" so that we can set up a daily route through the village bringing relief.

We do have an old gas pump we are taking in for a tune up, but will need new hoses for it . As well we would like to get a larger food grade tank. We can take the truck to a friends to have it filled during the night, and head out in the morning sharing water with those in need. this would give us 800 gallons per fill up.
the Water Tank, pump repairs and new suction lines and hoses as well as a extra leaf springs in the truck will be needed . We have just 10 days to be retrofit and ready to go. The cost of this we are expecting to be about $900. It would be fantastic relief if anyone could help with this need. Just one more way that we can impact our community around us
