Meghan Owen hasn't added a story.
We're almost there, but not out of the woods yet.
Help Meghan (Injured Worker, waiting on surgery) and Edward
(Wine maker and only income) get back on their feet, Meghan's nearly 5
year fight with the insurance is either coming to a head or to its end
and it would be nice to be stable enough to fight, with the space to
prepare for confrences and court...
Update: (We signed, and have been given until the end of
the week to come up with the rest of this gargantuan expense. Because
of this, we are going to push the first half of this campaign past its
deadline. We only need 2000 to keep the home... the rest is for the
few missing pieces of equipment. We're going to push this past it's
origonal deadline, or start up a second campaign to try and finish. We
did try every program available, and we sadly do not qualify, OR they
are already out of money for the month)
Edward and I have found a home... not just a place to live, but
a place to thrive.
We finally have an income that can keep us afloat, but we're shy the
upfront costs of renting this house, which has a garage, that will
actually let us save money instead of hemoraging it in all directions.
We've been couch crashing the last few months.
Why do we need a house with garage you ask?...
Simple; Its
about time we get Edward's Winery going... and a place to set up a
print and workshop for Meghan. Your contribution could insure the
stability of this couple, and bring about something many have been
waiting for... WINE!!!
We've found the home, not secured YET, but a home, where we can
both work and play. A place where we can garden, work on projects,
maintain a healthy life, and get out of this endless cycle of
"almost but not quite".
We would of course set up to make wine. Our goals for our new
home are as follows.
#1: Set up for wine making. Its well past time for Edward to
follow his dream. He has the education. He has the knowhow. He has the
experiance. You can help make this a reality. We now have the space,
we're just missing a few pieces of equipment.
#2: A printshop comes with this package, We already have all the
equipment, just need to set it up. With a printshop and photo
studio/lab, Meghan would be able to generate an income despite the
physical disability that keeps her unemployable.
#3: A workshop for wood and electronics tinkering. Toys,
"Toys", interesting furniture, and gadgets will abound. We
have the tools, we have the knowhow, we just need the space. Both
Meghan and Edward are skilled, and Meghan has PLENTY of time to tinker
on small projects.
#4: A garden. Need I say more? Nothing is better than fresh
everything, free of pesticides, harmful GMO's, and petro-chemical
fertalizers. Some of what we grow we will sell at farmers markets,
some we will make into wine, some we will eat, some we will give away
because gardens always make more than can be delt with.
Thank you for reading this, and thank you for your help.
