We need to renovate our 5 stall horse barn in order to expand our nonprofit rescue work to include farm animals. We have been rescuing dogs for 9 years and are ready to save and care for more species of animals in need!. Our barn has been neglected for many years, but has a solid foundation. The work that needs to be done is: minor roof repair, reconstruction of tack room, repair torn insulation, repair/replace interior stall boards, install something to divert rain water from flooding two of the stalls, etc. Need someone with general construction skills and a desire to make a difference for the animals we will be able to rescue once the barn is ready!

About Five Freedoms Farm

Mission Statement
to care for animals in need in a place that strengthens the Deaf community through its exploration of DeafSpace, entrepreneurship, art, community building, leadership, research and education.
Description
Five Freedoms Farm, also known as F3, is an ambitious endeavor that keeps animal rescue at the center of what we do and further incorporates community development, social entrepreneurship, environmental sustainability, and service learning. What sets us apart from other sanctuaries is that we partner with the Deaf community. We are both sign language interpreters: Nancy was raised by Deaf parents and is a native signer; Jessie has been a part of the community both professionally and personally since 1995. We both feel humbled by our connection to this beautiful and vibrant community. We want to celebrate Deaf-World and use our farm to show the broader community that being Deaf is not a deficit, but a unique and valuable way of living in the world. Our animal sanctuary will save the lives of animals in need while simultaneously increasing the cultural wealth of the Deaf community. We aim to become a vehicle that propels the passions of young Deaf animal-lovers, scholars, entrepreneurs, educators, leaders, and change-makers ... all by way of activities and programs around animal rescue, care, and adoption.
