I am in shock.
Yesterday I wrote about my fabulous box of Skode’s Horse Treat cookies that had just arrived – and about my baking of horsey brownies from the mix I had purchased…
This was my box of Skode’s Treats that had just arrived… she packed this with such love – little did she know that her whole world would be turned upsidedown in a matter of days.
And today I found out that Skode’s house burned down two days ago! She lost everything except her animals and what she was wearing.
E-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.
Her business is shut down until she can figure out her life and get things running again.
Oh my…
I cannot imagine losing every photo, every cherished momento, every favorite thing, all my clothes, all my business stuff, all of my files, all of my furniture, all of my notes stuck to my computer, all of my books, all of my bath stuff, every bit of jewelry, every utensil, every favorite linen, irreplaceable gifts, my business started from scratch … ALL GONE.
She lost everything in the fire except her animals and the clothes she was wearing.
Wow.
And to top it off, she had just moved there two weeks ago. She had already sorted out her favorite things to bring on this move – and it all went up in smoke.
Can we help her?
We cannot buy any cookies because she cannot fill any orders… but maybe we can buy cookie goodwill and send along some much needed moral support in the way of a few dollars.
If you would like to send her a note, she is using her FB page linked here.
LET’S COME TOGETHER AND RAISE HER UP A BIT TODAY, SHALL WE?
Today, we will have a one-day Bucket Fund for Skode’s Horse Treats – so that she can rebuild and make our horses some cookies in the near future. Brave Girl.

Oh my gosh that is terrible!!! I just placed an order with her yesterday after reading your post! I have been in two house fires but none like that. I can not begin to imagine how terrifying and devastating that would be to lose everything!!! Where would you start to rebuild your life?
So very sad to hear about this!

Oh no!!! Poor Lori, how devastating. Our house burned down in the middle of the night when I was a kid, and I remember how horrifying it was for my parents. Many prayers are winging their way for her, and huge hugs of support. Do you have a mailing address for this fund? I can’t use PayPal for a while, but would like to send a money order. May God bless her with strength and endless resources, and may He bless you as well, Dawn. Thank you for letting us know :)
