I never thought I’d be in a position where I had to ask for help like this, but I’m trying to build something real for my family, and I can’t do it alone. With the amount of love that we have received I believe all things are possible. Imagine a business in the image and name of Rainy. He's going to be on the logo when we open and it's going to be so awesome.

For the past eight years, I’ve been doing landscaping work with everything I’ve got. I’ve learned the trade inside and out — especially irrigation systems, retaining walls, and paver work. Over time, I didn’t just build skills… I built relationships. A lot of the customers I’ve worked for have truly shown me appreciation and trust, and it’s made me realize something important: I’m not just working a job anymore. This is what I’m meant to do.

But even after all these years, I’m still working for someone else’s name, someone else’s business, and I keep feeling that pull to finally build something of my own. I want to take everything I’ve learned, everything I’ve worked through, and put it into a business that I can stand behind completely.

That’s where Rainy Day Landscaping comes in.

I chose that name because life has its hard seasons — the rainy days — but those are also the seasons that help things grow. It's also the same season you'll see Rainy still kicking my butt.

We’ve been through a lot, but instead of staying stuck, I want to turn it into growth, stability, and something we can finally call ours.

I’m asking for help to get this off the ground — the equipment, transportation, and startup support needed to start taking my own jobs and serving my own customers. This isn’t about quitting work. It’s about finally stepping into the work I’ve already been doing for years, just under my own name.

The truth is, I’ve had customers tell me they appreciate my work, trust me, and want me back specifically. That means more than I can explain. It makes me feel like I’m ready — like it’s time.

Every donation, share, or word of support is not just helping start a business — it’s helping me build a future where my family has stability, pride, and something real to stand on.

If Rainy Day Landscaping gets this chance, I will give it everything I have. Thank you for believing in me and my family.
