So the other night at work I was looking at Kickstarter and go fund me sites and could not believe the amount of people asking for money for the stupidest things. From the guy caught in the Calgary stampede sex video asking to fund a welding truck to someone wanting money for a hot dog and instead of getting 10 bucks getting 10 grand. Or a couple years ago the guy wanting money to make the best potato salad and getting a hundred and some thousand. There are some great causes on there to but it got me thinking. As a struggling young cattlemen with a young family, why not try to raise funds for a down payment on some land.
So therfore I created a go fund me account to see if people believe in helping out someone who actually wants to accomplish something with those funds.
So have a look: http://www.gofundme.com/z5z3kzc
My wife thinks it's embarrassing but why not? I know there are other projects that need the funding but if someone is willing to throw money away for a guy to buy a hot dog why not throw that money to my cause instead.
Like I state in my info on the site, I believe in paying it forward and my plan is to match whatever is raised once we are on our feet and do the same thing with another young guy or gal in the same situation. Someone not afraid to work their butt off, take risks and believe in their dream.
And one day maybe start a scholarship fund or producer led funding project for young farmers and ranchers to get them started.
Agree or disagree with this, feel free to comment either way.
