Hello,
My name is Richard Gallagher and I live here in Sebastian FL with my Fiance' Beverly. We met 12 years ago and have been a great team untill she started getting sick. She has been to countless doctors and tests but still no answers. Mean while my buisness was suffering, not working and taking her to doctors visits some times 4 aday. Slowly my buisness was shutting down I was unable to spend any time there. So I auctioned off all my machinery and kept a couple of welding machines and some small tools with the hope that she would get better. Twelve years later she has not gotten any better, detererated daily before my eyes.
I am unable to get a job because I need to spend so much time taking care of her, she is bed bound unable to get her own food, needs help to get to the bathroom, shower she cannot be left alone for more than a couple of hours at a time. I have to do all the meals , cleaning , laundry, shopping everything, we have no family to help. Now the bills are pilling up. I have gone out to look for work that would be fleable to allow me to take care of her and work but not one company would even talk to me.
So we decided I would start my job shop up again from our garage. I have some basic equipment but realy need a metal lathe, milling machine, horizontal/vertical mill, plasma cutting table to cut out parts on and some basic tooling for the machines and material.
My goal is to get my small shop back operational so I can pay off my bills work from home and to take care of my fiance. One thing I do want to do is start to make You Tube videos to teach my trade to other people and inspire young kids who do not know what they want to do with there lives. Any donation would be greatly appreciated by us.
These are pictures of the machines I am looking to purchase, please help me to get our life back together and pay off our debit. This will allow me to take care of my very sick fiance while I work at home.
I want to keep small job shops or small american manafacturing alive and strong. Made in America means something Pride , Quality and Craftsmenship.
For people who do not know what a job shop does it is a machine shop for prototyping, small batch runs of specialty parts, one off manafacturing of what ever a customer needs along with rebuilding worn out parts that are to expensive to buy new or impractical.
Your support will keep a small locally owned and operated small business alive, not allowing the work I do to go overseas.
