30+ starved registered Arabs need monetary help/Michigan

Shari Weidman, a resident and private citizen not affiliated with any rescue, is caring for an expanding herd of 31 registered Arabian horses. Please read her story below, and if possible, send her a few dollars (or a lot of them!) to help her care for all these horses. I believe Shari told me that 9 of the mares are still pregnant as of today. One has already foaled, and due to the starved condition of it's dam, he was born with health problems, developed pneumonia, and is doing very well now, but saving his life did rack up a large vet bill, in addition to the vet bills and expenses incurred by the other 30 horses.
Like many neglected horses, many of these are wild, unhandled horses. Several of them are stallions and Shari cannot even geld them (even the mean, dangerous one) because their ownership status is up in the air until Michigan decides who gets the horses.
So, she is dealing with all of these horses and as you can imagine, it's a lot of work, but work she's happy to do on their behalf. If you can help her with any size monetary donation, her Paypal address is miarabianrescue at yahoo.com.There are also businesses where you can mail a check to pay for supplies, listed at the bottom of this message.
Here are links to news stories with pictures:

They are doing another story on her in this Sunday's paper.
Please feel free to forward everywhere.
