Black Owned Business Ranch AGRICULTURE

Donation protected
I'm raising money to save our Ranch we bought a 42 acre ranch in Northern California. It has been a dream of mine to own a ranch and or land so I can show youth from the enter city how to own and work as a farmer or cattle rancher. Two summers ago I mentored 27 youth from in or around the Stockton Cailfornia area though my Church  Victory in Praise . Like I've told my own kids it's bigger than me have always told them this from kids. Me my wife and two daughters live here full time and we are the only black family up here. I've had Fifteen back surgeries over the last last 20 years meanwhile I've owned three businesses Barbecue Restaurant and two detail shops. They said I would never walk again I have 14 screws and 6 rods from C-3 to S-1. I had to learn to walk again  but God gave me the strength to walk again run again and work harder than a man with a good back. We bought the property two years ago the property is off grid so the owner carried the note.  Well this is where our hell began she has been trying to foreclose since we bought the property. What this lady does is sell the house to people she thinks is growing marijuana and she calls the cops on them she sent us a certified letter telling us she is calling the DEA on us I'm a black man from East Oakland Cailfornia trying to make a better life for my family and others to teach youth that you can be something other than  a Rapper or a drug dealer so after the letter she sent it's been constant harassment from these people because the letter didn't scare us. So basically she has sold this property 5 or six times over the last 20 years or so. She has people like us come in pay the taxes improve the property then she forecloses  let it sit and put it back on the market but if your not from here you don't know and the agent didn't tell us about this we were told to to be careful with her and we found out why. I didn't give this woman my money for her to treat us like were not worth a penny. Its really is a Black White issue. When we first bought the property she said you aren't going to move in the house are you ! Really ! WOW This lady is outrageous and very rude and prejudice. We just need a hand up not a hand out because at the end of the day it is bigger than us period and we just want to teach generational WEALTH.  Please help if you can !Black Lives Matter
