Our family has been carrying a heavy weight these few weeks... I can't even believe I have to write these words...

This land has been in my family since 1974. This is the land where I was born and raised. It is where we built the foundation for our marriage, where we married on a chilly October day in front of our family & friends. Where we brought home our three children. It is where I believed I would watch my children grow, where they may be able to build families of their own!

This is where we have built a business; it's where we have grown with our community. Where I imagined growing old with my husband.

But today, we are in jeopardy of losing that, losing a crucial part of our family farm!!

To no fault of our own, instead due to a selfish family member who took out a REVERSE mortgage on a parcel of our land... he has since passed... leaving us to face a debt of more than $260,000 that has to be secured in a very short amount of time! While needing around $26,000 as a show of good faith to be able to secure our land, home & business before it is sold off.

It aches me to my core to think that the walls with which I laughed & played as a child, the same walls with which my children laugh & play may soon be filled by strangers.

I am not sure what our future holds but know, I am fighting, we are fighting, fighting for this land, for our home, for our children's future, for our legacy! I am holding faith & open to any advice, prayers, or guidance anyone is willing to provide.

As it hurts my heart, I will do my best to keep transparent in the coming weeks as we navigate the potential options of our future!

Love Always, The Connors!
