JACOB’S DREAM GREENHOUSE - YOUR HELP IS NEEDED

Jacob’s DREAM is to build and maintain a greenhouse at our home. He dreams of growing his own foods, organically and safely…without chemicals and pesticides. And incorporate some exotic plants from other parts of the world since we cannot travel there.

We are trying to fund this DREAM through very generous donations and through partnering with local volunteers and suppliers to obtain the structure and resources to build the foundation, and implement all the supporting components for a functioning greenhouse. Then, partner to gain the plants. 

But, we aren’t there yet - this is where we need your help.

Why does Jacob want a Greenhouse?

Jacob loves to garden and nurture plants, he calls veggies and fruits God’s candy for our bodies. Jacob dreams of this greenhouse for several reasons which include:

       

 Building this greenhouse will provide a lot of joy while fueling his aspiration to become a horticultural expert. (Master Gardener).

       

 He wants to grow his HEALTHY, cancer-fighting diet with many organic fruits, veggies and herbs he needs for strength.

     

 In the long term, Jacob wants his greenhouse to be a place where our family can gather and make some local memories of planting, nurturing, growing and producing healthy foods, where we can prepare them as a family, and eventually create a legacy “space” for Jacob.

However, we have about a $40,000 deficit to get everything in place. The additional items we need include:

Can you support Jacob to achieve his DREAM?

Please consider helping us close the gap so we can break ground THIS month, mid-October, and get things moving before winter comes in.

This is Jacob’s DREAM, and we have great volunteer leadership to handle all supplier and contractor collaboration while we fight cancer! We pray you will partner with us to help this DREAM come true!

Please note the initial $25,000 raised has been used to fund medical treatments and investments thus far, now his dream
