We’re sending our best wishes for as speedy a recovery as possible to Kristin Schmolze, who is recovering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained while hand walking a horse last month. As is the case with TBIs, recovery is a long slow process and overexerting oneself too soon can really delay recovery. Kristin is therefore looking to add some reliable and experienced help around her farm while she is sidelined.
If you’re local to the Watkinsville, GA area and are looking for a gig with the potential to turn into something longer-term, get in touch with Kristin via her email or her good friend Robyn Ford’s email. Robyn has also set up a GoFundMe for Kristin to help with her business expenses during her recovery.
Take care of yourself, Kristin, we are thinking of you!
