Hello
I'm Gemma Renée Locatelli. As most of you are likely already aware of my story I appreciate all your love support and help on this journey.
As most of you know 3LVRANCH burned down in the CZU complex fire. I was denied FEMA help and help from other agencies. For those of you who are new here, I'd like to share a bit about who I am and why I am asking for help.
In 2016 I was attacked from behind. That man was arrested and life changed. In 2017 a chiropractor injured me. In 2018 I got a horrible gut infection. In 2019 my father was murdered. In December of 2019 I got an awful upper respiratory infection.
In 2020 the CZU fire took everything I worked with my family to build.
In 2021 I was hospitalized ((via ambulance)) and upon getting out of hospital I had a new found hope & resolve to make the changes I needed to in order to land on my feet.
In 2021 Fancy (Our Horse) surprised us with a baby! Fiona (the baby horse) is now 3. Well I found a place for the horses and the chickens on a magical farm right in town. How blessed!
I was offered to stay with my dogs and my cats on the farm the horses were staying on. I was committed to doing my best to tend the land and show appreciation.
I got off the land I was camping on and onto a lovely farm. The farm was right in town and shortly after it became a nightmare. It was fraught with drama from the neighbors. I moved in in 2022 and from day 1, the neighbors waged a war.
Here i thought I'd finally find some peace, some rest, some time to recover. But no. The reports to agencies like animal control, air quality control, red tag zoning, etc all were unfounded and closed. However, guess who pays all the fees for the inconvenience?
Not Marshal & Lori who made dozens of false reports. I pay them.
I was forced off the farm. I now pay for board on my horses down south at a wonderful facility. I gave my chickens away to my sweet friend.
I was blessed to find my grandfather who had been displaced ((grampy grampy)) and found he needed me. He needed his family.
I was blessed with the 2 bedroom home we have.
I have maintained employment for over 2 years at my job. I work very hard in spite of anything lifes thrown at me. Its by the grace of God I've healed as much as I have.
Grampy is a veteran. Hes 83. He doesn't get money from the VA and we pay co-pays on medications and appointments. We'd be blessed if we didn't have that help of his VA medical benefits
When grampy moved in he had been homeless, in veteran housing, and then with some family but they were busy and couldn't take on his care. So he moved in pretty sick, fragile, and in debt.
Since he's moved in with me his health has improved and he has gained weight. I've been paying on his credits cards, his car, his medications ((he has two pacemakers, COPD, and a whole host of conditions)) his needs are met. I got him signed up with food stamps. He gets 97 dollars. Im working on getting him money from his time serving as a fireman in the military. He ran burn pits and tended coal. He has black lung now. Im working on getting him toxic exposure help.
Well, with daily expenses, costs from rent, pg&e, propane, insurance, food. I am beyond struggling.
Add on top the legal fees from all Marshal & Loris harassment and I am humbly asking for help.
I have debts I owe I can't pay because I'm so upside down. Food costs have gone up so much, and fuel, and so on that its just hard on me right now.
If you don't have it, don't worry. But if you have even 5 dollars I'd be greatly appreciative .
The money will be used to pay all the legal fees, costs to all the agencies, and get grampy out of credit card debt.
I am 100k in debt between school, legal fees, etc but I'm only looking for help with the fines, and grampy. I appreciate you all and love you all.
I was hesitant to make a gofundme because in the past all I got was flack like *get a job* or mean things. I opened my Bible randomly and this verse is the first one I read.
2 Corinthians 9:6-8 - Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
In the Bible it says to be a cheerful giver so I always have. But then guess what? I've never felt worthy of asking or receiving. Today, that changes.
I'm asking because as I've given and blessed others, in order to get back on solid ground I need a blessing. I admit it.
Message me privately with questions on specifics but just know I appreciate you all so much.
