The Ranch takes in children between the ages of six and eighteen who are orphaned, abused, neglected, or homeless.

Our biological children, Reagan and Brodie, both have gone “ALL in” to ensure the future of Big Oak Ranch. We even have our transition phrase confirmed – we are “committed to what we do best.” We all are working to move forward with confidence because the Lord has done a work in our children’s hearts. We want to be a ministry that will adjust when required but not lose the foundational building blocks that keep us clearly focused. Simply put – we will continue our mission of relieving the suffering of children. Sincerely, A Note From the Business Office on Planning for Year-End Gifts If so, or if you have any questions or would like more information on how to make Christmas special for a child at Big Oak, please contact: Boys’ Ranch – Donna Duke (256) 892-0773 Girls’ Ranch – Lynn Hazard (205) 467-6226 Thanks for your support and for loving our children throughout the year!! Would you like to sponsor one of our children for Christmas? I want to give you a glimpse into our future. Because so many organizations and businesses do NOT have a succession plan, they end up crippled, or worse yet dissolved, once the original owners or founders are no longer around. We NEVER want this to be the case for Big Oak Ranch. Thanks for your belief in our work, and for joining with us to ensure the future generations of children who will call Big Oak Ranch home! ◆ To receive a receipt dated in 2013, your gift must be in the mail and postmarked (US Post Office postmark) by December 31, 2013. ◆ If you wish to make an honorarium or memorial gift for Christmas, it must be in our Business Office no later than December 10, 2013. ◆ If you are planning a gift of Marketable Securities: • Please phone our Business Office for transfer instructions and give them your name, address, quantity and description of the securities you are contributing. • If possible, please make your gifts of securities by December 26, 2013. ◆ If you are planning a Non-Cash gift (auto, etc.), please phone our Business Office for new IRS rules.

This plan will ensure that your support is used where you and God intended - to relieve the suffering of children. -- Board of Directors of Big Oak Ranch 15
