Help me Rebuild

For the past 16 years, farming has been my life’s work. It’s more than a job — it’s my passion, my purpose, and the future I want to build for my family.

After recently going through a divorce and relocating, I am starting over. As a single mom, I’ve been working hard just to keep up with monthly bills and provide stability for my children. While I’m proud of how far we’ve come, rebuilding a farm from the ground up is both exciting and financially overwhelming.

I am now preparing to restart my farm on leased land, and I need help covering the essential startup costs to make this new beginning possible.

The funds raised will go directly toward:

Building a small propagation house so I can start strong, healthy seedlings and extend the growing season

Purchasing seeds for vegetables and flowers

Buying potting soil and necessary growing supplies

Repairing my tractor so I can properly prepare and maintain the land

These are the foundational tools needed to get back into production. Without them, I simply can’t begin.

This farm represents independence, resilience, and stability for my family. It represents showing my children that even when life changes unexpectedly, we can rebuild with courage and hard work. Farming has always been about hope — planting today with faith in tomorrow’s harvest.

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to putting seeds in the ground and rebuilding a sustainable future.

Thank you for believing in me, in small farms, and in second chances.
