Help Amya and Ashanti get a trailer
I'll leave this gofundme page up for a little while longer for anyone who would like to donate to the girls to help with getting weed eater racks, their logo on their trailer or just for gas to be able to continue cutting yards free for our elderly,disabled,single parents and veterans in our community! Thanks again for all the support and kind words.

My daughters, Amya (15) and Ashanti (14) Cloud saw a post on social media about a "50 yard challenge". They wanted to join. So they submitted their photo with their sign saying they accepted this challenge. The challenge was started by Rodney Smith Jr who runs a non profit organization called Raising Men (women)Lawn Care Service. The challenge is they have to mow 50 yards for FREE for the elderly, disabled, single parents or veterans. Well the girls received their tshirts, safety glasses and ear plugs and was ready to knock this challenge out. With only a car that was big enough to haul 2 mowers, we had to strategically figure out a way to haul their equipment. So as we were trying to figure out those details, I started asking on social media who needed help. Man the messages starting pouring in. There was a great need for lots of people needing some yard work done. They were ready. We loaded up the car, gave her the name, Mow Mobile and sat out to get started. We went out the first day and the girls we able to knock out 5 yards. Best thing it was free for them. They were thrilled. A news reported saw their post on social media looking for yards to mow, reached out and did a story on what the girls were doing. They even added a phone number to the story where people could contact us to get some help. The calls, texts, emails and social media messages continued pouring in, booking the girls yard after yard. Each day the girls set goals to do more yards than the day before, even mowing 10 yards in a single day. Amazing right? Well they completed their challenge in just 7 days! 7 days and Mowed 50 free lawns for people. Breaking the record set by a group of 7, who completed the challenge in just 3 weeks. The founder promises each kid who finishes the challenge, a new lawn mower, weed eater and a blower that he personally delivers himself along with their black shirts and certificates of completion. They were then gifted with their new lawn equipment from Mr Smith and are now in need of a trailer as the new equipment is too big for the Mow mobile. They want to start a summer lawn service to earn money to be able to continue to mow free yards for the community as well as a little fun money for themselves. So now we're trying to raise money to purchase a utility trailer so these girls can continue to give back to the community. If anyone can help us reach our goal of purchasing a utility trailer that would make things so much easier and allow them to earn some money by cutting grass for people who don't fit the criteria of the challenge, so they can continue to help out the ones who do. They are working towards the 100 yard challenge now.
Please help if you're able to so we can purchase a trailer and they can continue to help others in our community. Plus picking up the mowers to take out and to put back in afterwards, at every yard, is hard and wears them out. Even if you can't donate, please share their page or leave them some words of encouragement! Anything over requested amount will be used to purchase gas for mowers and for traveling around the city, lawn bags, gloves, etc. Thank you!
