EarthGoFundMe by request.
Donation protected
IMPORTANT NOTE; With repeated requests to leave the GoFundMe open to allow transparent donations (so everyone can see what comes in and goes out) the target will change, but all funds will still be spent on things like rent and equipment for the projects. I want this to be apparent from the get-go so it doesnt seem like I'm moving the goal-posts, because being honest with anyone kind enough to believe in our little mission is the least I can do.
MAIN PART.
For the abridged version, without the long-winded explanation - see things in Bold.

.. but with all the comments of late about helping in the face of a bunch of unfortunate situations, I've finally caved..
Tidying up nature and stuff unfortunately isn't free, as I most recently learned when I was in an accident in the Earth Van - writing it off and rendering us vehicle-less.
but after a little while, this incredible community, this particular GoFundMe and a conversation or two with the insurers we are on the road again!
..
Any funds (however little) that find their way to me through GoFundMe are first of all massively, massively appreciated - and because of that I'd like to be as honest and transparent as possible, so here's what any funding would be spent on;
- Replacing the EarthVan with an appropriate, reliable vehicle. DONE.
- Helping pay insurance deposits and contributing to monthly instalments. DONE.
- Vehicle maintainance/Fuel
- Replacing broken tools.
- Helping pay for responsible disposal of charge-to-recycle items (tyres etc)
- Renting trailers/help for bigger dumped items.
- Health and safety gear (waders, gloves etc)
- Helping establish new and future 'rewilding/tidying projects'.
- Helping spend as much time as possible tidying up (without sacrificing food on the table for my family.)
..
UPDATE- NEW ITEM; Paying for rent, upkeep, equipment and insurance on our BRAND NEW RECYCLING CENTRE!!
I know this is a lot of reading, but because it involves people's hard-earned money (during hard enough times) I could write paragraphs more explaining how much I'd rather you all looked after yourselves primarily though..
I'd rather not take a penny and know that you and yours are happy, healthy and looked-after.. PLEASE don't consider sending anything should it negatively impact your life!
Thank you, from the very bottom of my heart for even reading this - I never dreamed I'd be able to look after the Earth full-time, but you all make that more and more likely every day and for that I could say thank you more times than you'd want to hear.
Thank you, so much,
Kindest possible regards,
Josh 'Earthdrop' Donaldson.
