Because of the devastation left by Hurricane Ike, many ranchers in the Gulf Coast region are in desperate need of monetary donations, food, and equipment to save the livestock in the area. For many individuals, the loss of livestock means a loss of their family's livelihood. Even if you don't have trucks, tractors, trailers, hay, or feed to help these individuals, they are asking for help through monetary donations.
