Good morning....further to yesterday I never intended to insult or be little the individual who bounced the check and yes one of mine bounced as a result of that one bouncing which I didnt think was really fair. The individual contacted me as soon as this came out on FB and gave me an explanation as to why ....they couldnt communicate with me and also said they understand why I did the post. They will be in to make up for the amount some time soon. I wouldnt have even mentioned the initials however I didnt want the 50-60 parents who were able to pay by check to think it was them...or for anyone else to guess who it could have been because people who signed up are all on FB so I had to separate them. Further to that some people mentioned that I or Gods Little Acre has done many posts in the past to make people feel sorry for my situation or something to that affect....sob stories I guess to get help. I can assure you that this farm is not a sad story...its a happy story but you have the right to your opinion....when I ask for help its to help me feed the thousands of people who are starving ...lets all chip in and help these people because I have the ability and will to take some gifts that were given to me and help these people. I could have three years ago milked the project with all the media and good will and taken all I could take but I chose not to. I kicked out the oil people who would have funded me and the farm for years because I dont agree with their intentions and what they are doing to the environment....I ve basically kicked out or ignored anyone who has offered to raise funds for the farm and put me on salary....and yes in some cases....even told them off for thinking I would want any money or salary to help hungry people which I think is ridiculous.....we dont need to make a profit or get paid to help hungry people....just that one area where we should not look at profit in our society. People who come and help me on the farm come to help because they know this is a great project and they trust me. People who are here daily or have come here can see right before their eyes what we are doing. Yes I live in poverty doing this project but have never asked anyone ever to raise money to help me personally....my net income this year.....after all is said and done will be far less than any family on social services or disability which is what I knew I was getting into when I started this....I also knew that this is what it would take....I have a plan....the retail will get better and things will improve and I look forward to all those challenges. yesterday I sat with an individual who is the biggest financial supporter on the farm and he said I just want to see you making a living out of this. My reply is dont worry lets just keep going because things are working. I post everything about my life on here because the farm and the project IS my life. I found a life here and I have hundreds of friends who will show up here and stand right beside me in a moments notice which is a shock to my previous life. I have learned that people care about me when at times no one did in my previous life.They also love the community we have built here. I havent done paypal or many other things like go fund me because I figured we can do this without picking peoples pockets. Ive also learned this year that many people want to help the farm from a distance because they cant be here physically and so you will see an online help button somewhere soon however...it will be for items needed for the project to make it easier..improve and expand it. For those who have opinions like Im looking for handouts you are totally wrong.....Im working to give people a Hand Up not a hand out to make them feel better. You certainly made me feel like crap over night however all the people who have bashed me in the past made me stronger and more determined to keep going forward. I dont remove negative comments on my FB page so all those who said.....a few of you that I am always looking for a handout......your just plain wrong....I can deal with my personal situation just fine and when those twist ties on my glasses wear out...Ill put two more on and when I get cold enough Ill get that heater working in my truck....either way I have more important things to do with the income here right now. Thanks for the support......see you in the DRY pumpkin field this weekend.....kids are coming...gotta go have a great day!
