Help Restore the Oliver Family's Ancestral Land

Preserving Our Family Legacy: Help Restore & Protect Our Ancestral Land
(Descendants of Joseph and Vernal Oliver)

Our family land is more than just property—it is a testament to the hard work, sacrifice, and legacy of our ancestors. Passed down from our forefathers, this land represents generations of perseverance, love, and history. It is a symbol of our family’s roots, a place where memories were made, and where our future generations should have the right to gather, reflect, and honor those who came before us.

Unfortunately, we recently experienced a heartbreaking incident—someone trespassed onto our land and cut down fruit trees that have stood for generations, trees older than many of us. This act of disregard is a reminder that without proper protection, our family’s legacy is at risk of being lost to time and outside interference.

We are asking for your support to help fund the necessary work to survey, restore, and protect our ancestral land. The funds raised will go toward:
✅ Surveying and officially marking property boundaries to prevent encroachment
✅ Repairing and restoring family tombs to honor our loved ones who rest there
✅ Replanting and preserving fruit trees that have nourished our family for decades
✅ Fencing off the land to prevent further destruction and trespassing

We often speak about generational wealth, but it begins with protecting what was built before us. This land was acquired through the sweat and labor of those who came before us—it is our responsibility to protect it for those who will come after us.

Any contribution, big or small, will help us take the necessary steps to restore and safeguard our family’s heritage. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would mean the world to us.

Let’s come together to honor our ancestors, preserve our legacy, and protect what is rightfully ours. Thank you for your support!
