Jessica Luke

When Jessica and Luke moved into their home, they never imagined they were living in one of Michigan’s oldest churches. Through research and conversations with neighbors, they discovered the building was originally constructed by Jesuit missionaries and, after being abandoned, was lovingly cared for by the Shaw family and the local Native American community. This rich history makes Shaw Church a unique landmark, and Jessica and Luke are determined to honor its legacy. Their dream is to have Shaw Church recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, ensuring its story is preserved for generations. However, the registration process comes with a significant cost, and the church also needs essential summer repairs to maintain its structure and beauty. By raising these funds, Jessica and Luke hope to restore the church and transform it into a museum, creating a space where the community can gather, learn, and celebrate its heritage. Jessica invites friends, neighbors, and history lovers to join in this effort. Your support will help preserve a remarkable piece of Michigan’s past and turn Shaw Church into a wonderful museum that benefits the local community. Every donation brings them closer to making this vision a reality.

The area known as the Painted Turtle Mine is facing a serious threat from chronic wasting disease and Tuberculosis, which are spreading rapidly and putting local wildlife and the ecosystem at risk. As the CEO of Painted Turtle Endeavors LLC, I have brought together a dedicated team of professionals with expertise in environmental science and remediation. Together, we have developed a comprehensive plan to address these issues using innovative methods such as bioremediation, phytoremediation, and mycoremediation. Our goal is to restore the health of the Painted Turtle Mine area by targeting the root causes of these diseases and implementing sustainable solutions. The funds raised through this campaign will be used to secure the necessary manpower and purchase essential materials required for the remediation process. Every contribution will directly support the hands-on work needed to make a real difference in the environment. This project represents the first small-scale step in a much larger effort to clean up and protect our local environment. By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping to create a healthier future for our community and the wildlife that depends on it. We invite you to join us in this important mission and be part of a positive change. Your support means everything to us and to the future of the Painted Turtle Mine area.

Painted Turtle Endeavors LLC, led by CEO Jessica Luke, recently discovered a potential mine on their property. This exciting find presents a unique opportunity for growth and development, but it also comes with a responsibility to protect the land and the community that depends on it. The team is committed to pursuing this project in a way that balances economic opportunity with environmental stewardship. To move forward, Painted Turtle Endeavors LLC needs to conduct a drill core campaign and a surgical extraction. These steps are essential for attracting investors and confirming the viability of the mine, while also minimizing the impact on the environment. The funds raised will not only cover these technical requirements, but will also support rehabilitation efforts to restore the land and benefit local animals and people. By prioritizing responsible development, the company aims to create lasting positive effects for the community and the ecosystem. Jessica and the team are asking for your support to help make this vision a reality. Every contribution will help Painted Turtle Endeavors LLC responsibly develop the mine and restore the environment, ensuring that both economic and ecological needs are met. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference for the future of the land, the animals, and the people who call it home.
