Help Kickstart a Dream

Donation protected
Jeff and Jennelle are trying to build a dream. If you wish to help, this is your place to do so. Every dollar helps, anything helps. They are not begging you to help them, they are asking you that if you wish to help them financially that you do so here.

They acquired 2.4 acres of undeveloped forest land in Dent County, Missouri where they intend to move and build a cabin and small homestead. The overall cost of the land is $14,900, $2000 of which has already paid. They will continue to pay on the remainder for the next 7 years until the land has been paid in full.

Jeff and Jennelle plan to move to their land in the fall of 2018, but would like to be married and have a few things acquired by that time. They hope to have a 4-wheel-drive pickup and adequate camper and at least 3 months worth of living expenses in savings by that time in order to ensure their success. Both of them have already been given job offers upon their arrival and reasonable employment seems to be prolific in the general area, so they are unconcerned with their success in establishing themselves, but rather with the transitional phase of their move and the things needed to prepare them for that move. They are both currently involved in making their payments on the land and saving for their transition.

Besides their marriage, which they would very much like to have in Pennsylvania before they leave, they require a good working truck, a tow-behind camper sufficient for many years of use, 3 months worth of minimal living expenses, money or insurance for any potential emergency during their move, and tools to be bought upon their arrival in order to aid them in clearing their land and to establish a home.

The land is undeveloped. There is no water currently available. A well will need to be drilled which will be very costly, but electric is available. Both Jeff and Jennelle are prepared to face the hardships involved in building a dream, but your help would be much appreciated.

Currently, Jeff is a school bus driver and plans to continue this service to community in Missouri. Jennelle is a hard-working agricultural employee. Both Jeff and Jennelle believe in community and both believe in paying their dues. Any assistance you provide at all...know that it is going toward the fulfillment of a dream that WILL come true. We are not quiters – we are doers. Thank you in advance!
