Updated GoFundMe DescriptionTitle: Help the Scrap Guyz Keep Moving Mountains on the Treasure Coast .

The Story:Hello neighborhood family, friends, and walksonwateri2c subscribers,My name is Stephen Cordes. I am the owner and operator of the Christian channel walksonwateri2c, a space dedicated to promoting Jesus' teachings to modern peoples, finding hope in the storm, and keeping our faith alive. I have always believed that our faith must show up in our actions. That is why I founded SCRAP GUYZ and Global Recycling Network LLC—to physically serve our community by cleaning up our neighborhoods and creating a better future together for everyone's environment.To date, you and I have accomplished something truly miraculous. Together, we have successfully collected and recycled over 1 million pounds (500 tons) of renewable resources right here on the Treasure Coast.Keeping 1 million pounds out of our landfills isn't just about clearing junk. According to environmental models, our collective milestone has achieved massive, measurable benefits for our ecosystem:3 Million Pounds of Carbon Blocked: We have prevented up to 3,000,000 pounds of harmful greenhouse gases from entering our atmosphere [1]. That is the environmental equivalent of removing roughly 300 passenger cars from Florida roads for a year [1].Massive Energy Savings: Pushing these materials back into the circular economy saved enough industrial electrical power to run more than 4,500 homes for a full month [1].Protecting Our Local Waters: By diverting appliances and scrap metal, we prevented heavy industrial mining demands and directly shielded delicate local aquatic habitats like the Indian River Lagoon from toxic heavy metal leaching [1].The Crisis We Face Today:I teach about resilience and walking by faith through the heaviest storms, but today, I am facing a bottleneck where I must humbly ask my community for a blessing.At the worst possible personal and financial moment, our 22-year-old workhorse truck finally gave out at 300,000 miles with a blown head gasket. To make matters more complicated, the vehicle is severely underwater with negative equity. I owe $3,800 on it, it does not run, and I currently have no credit to lean on for a traditional replacement.Without wheels, our free community scrap pickup operations are completely frozen. I cannot get back on the road to divert the next million pounds without your help.How You Can Help:We aren't looking for a massive handout—we are looking for a community-driven lifeline so we can get right back to work serving you. If just 100 local "angels" can spare a small blessing of $10, we can secure a reliable used replacement vehicle, satisfy our operational debts, and get our wheels spinning again.Please watch our updates, donate what you can, and share this mission with your network. Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your ongoing faith in our mission. May God truly bless you.With deep gratitude,Stephen G.

My name is Stephen Cordes, and for the last 5 years, I’ve operated Scrapguyz with a simple mission: Keep Florida green by providing a 100% free recycling service to our community. To date, using only a 22-year-old 2004 F150, we have successfully diverted over 500 tons (1 million pounds!) of metal, appliances, and auto parts from ending up in our local landfills.

The problem is that my veteran truck has reached its limit. The constant strain of pulling heavy loads is causing constant repairs, tire replacements, and high fuel costs. To keep this service free for everyone—and to keep that next 500 tons out of the earth—I need a reliable, higher-capacity vehicle. Scaling this movement is impossible if the truck is in the shop or unable to handle the growing demand from local residents and businesses.

A new, heavy-duty truck and upgraded equipment will help us serve more people, increase our daily collection capacity, and keep more recyclable materials out of landfills. This will allow us to continue offering our free service and focus on growing our impact in the community. I love what I do, and I love the people on the Treasure Coast. With your help, I can keep making a difference. Every dollar—no matter the amount—brings us closer to making this dream a reality. Your support, big or small, truly makes a difference. Every dollar goes directly toward the equipment that keeps this service free and our environment clean. We’ve proven the concept with 500 tons of results. Now, we just need the horsepower to reach the next milestone. Will you help Scrapguyz keep Florida beautiful?
