My name is Marty. I’m 54 years old, single and disabled. I lost everything during COVID due to being hospitalized with Encephalitis and Covid in 2021 and became homeless. Lived in Atlanta homeless until 4 months ago. My oldest sister who is also disabled insisted that I come and live on her 4 and a half acre property so I moved to Rock Spring, GA. We agreed on $500 for renting her shed out back which is 12’×7′. We are both on fixed income and the property is in desperate need of many things for which we cannot afford. There are a few important things that are needed that would really contribute and help us a lot around here and that is a work truck or farm truck if you will. I’ve been selling firewood to the locals around here but I’m having problems with getting the wood split because of my disability. The farm is dormant and hasn’t been used in years but if I just had a good running work truck I could help her a lot around here and this would in return help me. I’ve got some good ideas on what to farm we’re going to need things like a good running tractor and a decent running work truck. I am disabled and I received SSI which is only $943 a month. And every month that $943 is going within one day for bills and groceries and it leaves nothing for me to save or to invest towards a tractor and a truck. If there is any way that someone who may be reading this could help us please. I know and I feel in my heart that if I had the proper used equipment I would Farm as much of this property as I could and my sister has given me permission to do whatever because she has very little hope. Her single story ranch home is about to come off of the foundation on one side of the house. The original barn that was built I believe in the ’50s or ’60s is dilapidated and has already been damaged from a large cedar tree and she had some neighbors just help her prop everything back up and it looks so dangerous to walk under. There’s even a small pond and it won’t hold water. I need a good running tractor and and a decent running farm truck please because I see almost no other way but to swallow my pride and ask for help. Farmall tractors that are used and in decent condition and running are price between $4,000 and $20,000. A good running farm truck that has the capabilities of a farm truck such as tonnage hauling capacity and in some cases four-wheel drive. I don’t think we need four-wheel drive around here but it could come in handy one day. Most trucks that I found that I would need to do the kind of work that is need to be done around here is priced between $7,000 and $30,000. I’m planning to grow corn, raise honey bees, and goats. But I can’t do either of these without the proper equipment and tools. If I had a tractor and a truck I can begin preparing these four and a half acres for these projects that will sustain us as well as provide for us the kind of help we need to straighten up the foundation on the house and to tear the old barn down and build a new one while providing corn, bees to pollinate our food, and raising goats for their hair, to clear land, for their meat, for their milk, and even for pets. If you’re reading this and you’re considering helping I would be so grateful and happy knowing that there is someone out there that cares. And I don’t want your money. I would just like to have your help with some very necessary equipment so that I can get the ball rolling. I would like for anyone who may be considering to even visit and see for yourself to help we could use to farm these four and a half acres that will provide more for us and our community. I’m asking for $25,000 for a farm tractor and a farm truck. Please help. Thank you and God bless you…
