Katie Paine’s Shankhassick Farm saved from foreclosure
Posted by Joseph Thornley on June 1st, 2007
Last week, word went round the blogosphere about Katie Paine’s efforts to save Shankhassick Farm from being auctioned off by the bank.
Well good news. Katie has just posted that Shankhassick has been saved:
As of 4:05pm today the taxes were paid and the bank was notified. I am SO grateful to everyone who helped. Thank you all. It’s been a humbling experience. Let no one ever think that Shankhassick Farm is just a piece of land and some houses. You all made it very clear that this farm is a very special place — a refuge, a source of inspiration and creativity and when that much good will and Karma comes at you, anything is possible — including raising over $125,000 in less than two weeks.
A real example of community and generosity.
Congratulations Katie.

Never met Katie, but can’t pass up helping decent people in need. Hope by small contribution, and my blog post helped. I like to think both did.
Very good weekend ahead now!
