Fantasy River Ranch Haven – Work-to-Board Programs for the Homeless
We believe that we have a viable solution to make a major impact on the homeless populations everywhere, implementing work-to-board programs and converting properties into campsites and housing.
Homeless is a persistent problem in our country and one that very few people even bother trying to solve. Why? Because we have normalized this horrific situation. We are too used to seeing the homeless roaming the streets or banding together in communities underneath bridges and next to rivers. The general thinking is, “Hey, someone else will take care of it – right?”
At Fantasy River Ranch Haven, we are committing ourselves to being the ones who take care of it. Our strategy is fairly simple: we purchase abandoned and unwanted houses, motels, apartment buildings, RV parks, and small towns in order to create opportunities for homeless to live and work. We want to set up safe places for the homeless, places where these people in need can get out of the cold, rest, and eat. Long-term, we want to address the homelessness issue on a large scale, supplanting or at least complementing the outdated and outmoded system of shelters.
What We Need & What You Get
We have come to you, friends, in order to raise $75,000. These funds will cover the costs associated with purchasing RV parks, camp grounds, and other properties and then converting the properties into campsites and housing for our work-to-board programs. Fantasy River Ranch Haven will help your community both by improving areas that would be otherwise neglected and by reducing homelessness rates.
More about Work-for-Board
Some of the programs that our tenants will work for include FRR Haven Food 4 All, which is a food truck, a crafts business, and construction on new houses. No one will be asked to work more than twenty hours in a single week.
Risks & Challenges
As desperate as our communities are for a solution like Fantasy River Ranch Haven, people are hesitant to accept any drastic ideas. Therefore, one of our biggest challenges will be convincing people of the viability of our project. We know that once we get the ball rolling, the concept will begin to prove itself via results.
Other Ways You Can Help
Aside from making a monetary contribution, you can show your support for Fantasy River Ranch Haven by sharing our campaign with all your friends and family. Spread the word about what we are doing on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and any other social media platforms you use. The more people are aware of what we are doing, the smoother this campaign will go. All contributions are appreciated. We thank you for your time and support!
