Good to hear the little fella get some badly needed help.

That will buy them some joint ties and some surfacing and not much else. The ruckus at Nappy-town (Napoleon, OH) is going to gobble up more than half of that figure. Hope they spen the money wisely, judiciously and get the most bang for the bucks... The owner down in Corydon, IN have such a checkered past - Hard to know which way they will go....
