Forging Ahead
Donation protected
I am a retired veteran with 20 years of service. I have served on one peacekeeping tour in the former Yugoslavia regions and three combat tours to Afghanistan.
After the Afghanistan theater closed down for Canada I was able to transfer to the Airforce where I was trained as an aviation technician.
On Dec/2018 I was medically released from the Canadian Armed Forces
due to service related injuries.
Forging Ahead is the soon to be official name for my small single person lead aspiring grass roots not for profit business.
It started its creation on Dec/2018 as an idea to help veterans, and first responders with mental
health issues (MH). It will be designed to allow veterans to work out their emotions in a safe,
secure environment channeled through the art of blacksmithing and metalworking.

Investor proposition
An Opportunity has arisen to be able to support an veteran owned and lead grassroots
not for profit business “Forging Ahead”. Your help can pave a future for veterans and first responders to have a life after service.
-With the addition of a new self contained pneumatic power hammer, veterans with physical injuries will be able to perform tasks and reach goals that were previously unachievable to them
$10000 + S/H, Anyang 55lbs self contained power hammer
-A fully integrated HVAC system will ensure proper ventilation and a reduced need for restrictive personal ventilators, thus reducing the equipment costs and average cost per veteran/responder PPE use.
$5000, HVAC system
-Blacksmithing equipment is made of strong reliable material. Having a stockpile of equipment is important for members to rely on.
-$4000 dreamer blacksmith starter tools kits (blacksmithsdepot.com)
-Creating a interactive community will allow blacksmiths to work with other people around the world and watch videos while working.
$3000, Interactive web setup, electronics and equipment
-Safety is a major factor for my small residential shop
$3000, WHIMIS 2015 storage, safe storage for equipment and shelving, general safety equipment.
These are some examples of the equipment i am attempting to install and raise funds for.
All funds WILL BE USED for shop materials, equipment, upkeep and support related area.
With yours and others support, I believe that this endeavor could grow from a grassroots organization to a full not for profit organization within the southern Manitoba community. This will also allow a community resident and veteran an avenue for success and create an opportunity for a small not for profit business to grow.
