My name is John Watts. I am in need of financial support to protect the land handed down to me by my dear Mother who passed away in September of 2004. I have inherited 40 acres that has been in the family for 45 years and is the last section of the original homestead of 1860. The property rights go as far back as 1890.
I have a disability called Cervical Dystonia, but in 5 years have received no money to assist me in maintaining the home which is nearly 70 years old and has not been remolded in over 25 years. I am in dire need of support both financially and construction support, due to the miscalculated Protective laws of this state (Oregon) for Seniors and their off-springs.
I have a very good friend that lives on the land with me in a trailer who helps as best he can, but he to is disabled with diabetes and progress is slow, but we have a goal for the land. We would like to provide others with disabilities to enjoy the beauty of the country and all it has to offer. The wild life, the biology and botanicals and the tranquil and peaceful setting of the land. The land itself offers enormous potential and has remained untouched for many years. The land itself has natural mountain spring water, used for all house needs, creeks and an area for a large lake, and a beach that would provide fishing and outdoor fun for those who have never experienced such beauty, for all seasons of the year. The property itself is surrounded by National forest and hiking, horseback riding, and domestic animals, such as horses, ponies and the like would be a perfect fit for all to enjoy.
We, my friend and I would like to have 2 homes built and 5 or 6 cabins to be used through out the year by those with disabilities in conjunction with the “Make a Wish foundation”, and Pediatric Aids, 2 organizations that touch our hearts. In addition we would like to remodel the home that has been here for 70 years, fence in the entire land, produce solar and a water electricl generating plant and solor energy and provide domestic animals for children and others to enjoy. We would like to have built an
agricultural growing house to provide white truffles and Shitake mushrooms in the fall and winter and Saffron in the spring and summer and have all of those enjoy that experience as well. All of this would be of minimal impact to the land and would enhance the beauty of the natural land itself. A wonderland of natural experience.
I myself have a tremendous amount of experience in business and my friend has an extensive knowledge of land management and agricultural know how and mechanical knowledge. We both have had extensive experience with animals of all kinds.
This land is the final frontier to keep it from subdividing and building homes and destroying the natural beauty which has taken years and years to develop in an area called Selma, which is a very small community in the wilderness which is starting to grow by leaps and bounds. We need your help for a good cause and wish to give back as much as we can.
Life her is difficult and getting tougher all the time but we intend to make the sacrifice and have done so for the last 3 years.
We are Sincerely asking for your help and desperately need it and with great appreciation could show you (see attachment) the magnificence of the beauty of nature in all it’s natural glory. This is an opportunity for us all and should not be left behind.
I would be more than glad to provide highly detain information about the project and i’s course of action when requested. In addition this would provide employment in this area where it is needed most, as Selma is located 20 miles from a larger town and 10 miles from a small town which provides little benefit. In addition we would like to provide a recording studio to provide the talent in this area a place to develop their talent and an additional adventure for the disabled children and adults to enjoy.
