My name is Gary Smith. I am a gay male who lives in the hills of Kentucky. My lover and I have been together for 4 years. (On and off for 17.) We have seen a lot of people die of AIDS, Crystal abuse, drug abuse of many kinds, at the hands of others... and by their own hands.
We are tired of standing idly by and watching our fellow men fall by the wayside. Some killing themselves slowly using drugs... some taking a quick jump to death through a loop tied to the ceiling... and some dying slowly due to AIDS.
We are looking for people and agencies who want to help snuff out the disease of drug addiction... namely addiction to Crystal Methamphetamine.
We are looking to buy a stretch of land, here in the hills of Kentucky, and turn it into a farm. Accept applicants who need a new start (away from the drugs and the gay lifestyle) to live in a communal setting. Tending animals, gardening, carpentry, housekeeping, cooking, cleaning, and so on.
We believe that funding for their upkeep can be found easily. We are just needing the start-up capital. (Property, housing, furnishings, livestock, equipment, seed, feed, and provisions.)
They average meth user goes back after six months, to using... usually to an extreme.
We would like to provide this setting for one year to each individual and phase them back into society... clean, productive, bright-eyed, and with a yearning to help others in our community.
At times, when the need arises some will be allowed to stay on indefinitely as positions come open.
We have people from a lot of healing arts standing ready to help in this venture with their expertise. (Raiki experts, Physical trainers, physical therapists, yoga instructors, respiratory therapists, and religious leaders in numerous different beliefs.)
As you can see, we don't intend to leave any need unmet for these individuals, not physical, mental, or even spiritual. We believe that every person can only be made whole... if their WHOLE PERSON is not given undivided attention and healing in this process.
Please, someone... anyone... help us to accomplish this so we can start helping the gay community to start healing.
