Help Save Shawn’s Family Ranch and Its Lifeline: Water
For three generations, Shawn’s family has cared for a small ranch in the Central Valley — a place built on hard work, tradition, and the belief that good food grown with care can support a community. When Shawn inherited the ranch, he committed himself to keeping that legacy alive. He row‑farms a variety of fresh vegetables and sells them locally, using every dollar to maintain the property, keep the land productive, and support himself.
But two days ago, everything changed.
During this stretch of brutal 105‑degree days, Shawn’s agricultural well pump suddenly failed. After bringing out a specialist, he learned the worst news possible: the well can’t be repaired. He needs to drill an entirely new well and install a new pump — an expense so high it’s nearly impossible for a small farmer to absorb.
Without water, Shawn’s crops are already burning up in the heat. Every hour that passes puts his fields, his income, and his family’s legacy at risk. He has invested everything into this season’s crops, and losing them would be devastating.
This is where we’re hoping the community can come together.
The quote for drilling a new well is overwhelming, but with support, Shawn can save his fields, preserve his family ranch, and continue providing fresh local produce to the community. Any help — no matter the amount — will make a real difference and bring him one step closer to keeping the ranch alive for the next generation.
