“The farmers are working tirelessly on get their animals out of the deep water and to higher elevation. There is a lot of hard work ahead and funds are desperately needed to support the farmers and their families as they continue to care for their beloved animals,” said Knittel.

All contributions raised through the GoFund Me, will go to BC Dairy Association for distribution to farms in need. Knittel saw first-hand the devastation caused by the flooding, when she saw what it had done to her cousins’ farm in Abbotsford. Her cousins, Phil and Trina Graham, whose farm in Abbotsford was destroyed by the flooding, have also started a Go Fund Me.

“Thank you for all who have donated, please continue to share this GFM and pray for everyone affected. I will keep you updated as much as possible,” said Knittel.

So far, Knittel has raised $28,380 and counting. To make a donation to Knittel’s fundraiser, people can go to: https://gofund.me/b4cb1d10
