Two months ago I promised that money raised for a woodchipper (since libelous villains killed my sheepskin business) would go back to our community.

Thanks to many generous brothers and sisters, the amount raised was $2526, and that was used to make a 33 year old machine like new, abbreviated maintenance records attached. I'm on track to be able to invest that money back into our people in the spring, Lord willing.

It's important that it isn't just thrown for gibs. It's important that the money goes towards an income-generating endeavor by one of our brothers. One that will benefit our people.

I'm seeking applicants, someone who wants to start or expand their own business.
I will offer mentorship and limited funding. It will require you ID yourself to me, and be vetted, and have a solid business plan. It will also require a like-kind agreement to do what I am doing now.

Thank you everyone who put your money in a pot that will, Lord willing, reap great dividends. Especially to @Group4, @kennytaylor, @DrawingArtist, and @PepperCave, among many other anonymous donors that I wish I could credit. My hope is that this money will not end with me, but go on to fuel many other businesses, substantially improving the lives of our people.
