Goliath in Need of a Boot - Great Strides Stunned by 150% Insurance In

Great Strides Stunned by 150% Insurance Increase Out of the Blue

Our insurance provider for Workman's Compensation, IWIF (Injured Workers Insurance Fund) a virtual monopoly in our area, recently stunned us with a bill for a $5,000 increase in our coverage - a 150% increase. This rude surprise came out of the blue and while we have appealed the decision on the facts and complete lack of reasonableness we had to pay upfront or be ruled out of compliance with employment laws.

This has blown a significant hole in our budget, late in the year, and may well impact our ability to serve clients if that gap is not closed. This is a 2 month appeal to all of our friends and supporters to help us fight this unreasonable rise in our rates. Your help will make sure that this rude surprise doesn't impact client services, horse care or other critical budget items while we work to fight this insurance Goliath.

Help the David in this fight - in this case Linus (an appaloosa pony and co-founder of the agency) and the herd - to show the big, bad insurance companies that they can't treat us like this and get away with it.

Strike a blow for fairness and health - please contribute now. The herd can't wait and you can make the critical difference. Please visit www.GreatStrides.org to donate now.

Thanks,

Brad & Terry Lewis, Human Founders
Linus, Equine Founder
The Great Strides Herd
