Today is the last day of our 2026 GoFundMe. What we raise now goes directly towards the site’s costs for the year ahead. We’re still short of the target, and this final push will decide how much of next year’s hosting, maintenance and essential running costs we can cover in advance.
"My name is Joyce Leary. My husband David Leary was arrested yesterday for doing what he thought was defending his family. 6 guys dressed in all black were on our property tampering with his car. He opened the door and yelled at them to stop and just leave. They refused. He got his gun and fired warning shots. They all ran and jumped in the stolen cars they had. He didn’t intend to hurt anyone, he was afraid they’d come into our home. In addition, both our cars were stolen a year ago from in front of our house. Likely from the same criminals. We’re just hard working people (he’s a safety police officer and I’m a nurse) trying to provide for ourselves and our two daughters. Any support to help bail him out is appreciated."

My name is Karen Crespo and my husband Eric, and I reside in Florida, United States. After many years of dedicating our lives to secular employment, and to raising our nine children, all of whom are now grown and professionals, we have decided to start and formalize our own business with the experiences and knowledge we have acquired over the years.
Entrepreneurship has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. Therefore, we decided at the beginning of the year, to start our own business called KC Gardening Services, LLC (mom and pops business). As part of our services, we offer our clients cleaning and maintaining their gardens, planting, and creating new flowerbeds, and making the proper cut to their shrubs, among others. We create a special relationship with the environment, the land, plants, and their needs. For us, it is relaxing and gratifying to see how our work responds to the care we give them. We also create a special relationship with OUR COMMUNITY, which the majority are senior citizens and/or single women, who have lost their strength and energy and are unable to do the work that for many years they enjoyed doing for themselves. We keep our costs affordable for everyone and we see how our customers are satisfied and grateful to see how their plants are progressing. We also care about our customers/community in times of need. For example, before and after the past Hurricane, we were able to provide needed assistance without hesitation or cost, creating a unique connection with our community.
However, like any business, equipment is needed to carry out the work and little by little we have been acquiring them with our funds and taking our credit to the limit. We have tried to get the equipment we need by seeking help from banks and/or other entities without success. It is frustrating to see all the requirements that are asked to be able to apply for aid. For example, you must have been in business for at least two years, you must have an approximate monthly income of over $5,000 per month, you must have a credit score over 650 and the government grants that they promote are either inaccessible or are made in such a way that you can't get them either.
We have been trying to raise some money to be able to get the equipment needed, but it has been very difficult. That is why we made a cost study, to continue and provide quality services to our customers. Therefore, we have reached a total of $55,000. These funds will be used for the purchase of this equipment which we detailed as follows: Enclose Trailer to store all our equipment, a Zero Turn Mower, a new Self-Propelled Lawn Mower, Backpack Blower, Chain Saw, Weed Eater and Edger, Hedge Trimmer, Pole Saw, Pressure Washer, Gasoline Containers, Hose, Back-Pack Sprayer and PPE (Proper Protective Equipment).
We are proud and satisfied with the work we have accomplished in less than a year without help or assistance, however, we recognize that we need help to acquire the equipment we need to continue to keep this business afloat, which brings us much satisfaction as it keeps us busy and helping our community. With this equipment, we could acquire more customers, get more jobs, help other people by giving them honest and secure employment and grow our company little by little.
We hope that you can sympathize with our situation and help us so that we can continue to provide quality service and help our community.

See a donation, make a donation!! This fundraiser is one local to my county, I just saw it in our newspaper! Madi is raising money to give the local schools the Crayola Colors of the World crayon boxes! It's the one with a variety of skin tones, so kids have more representation than peach and brown. (I would have Loved this when I was a kid, bc the only crayon box that had anything close to my skin tone as a kid was the huge bulky 96 crayon box that had "tan". I still have it, actually...) 🌈 She's also donating for local teachers to pick from a list of Madi's favourite books - ones that are inclusive of a variety of kids! "Sometimes, there are only books with peach kids, and there should be books with brown kids like me too." 🌈 https://gf.me/u/x9xc2u 👆 If you want to donate here, that would be amazing! Otherwise, please keep an eye out for any fundraisers that are local to you!! I live in a small town, where the mindset can be very "small town," so seeing something like this finally come up and get attention is awesome. ((Also, I have no idea why GFM sent me a receipt in French, but I refreshed the site and saw my donation amount come up, so it should have gone through fine!))

We’re now in the later half of March 2026 and our GoFundMe campaign is underway. This year’s fundraiser covers the next twelve months of hosting, maintenance and essential running costs for the site. We’re also aiming to build enough of a buffer to produce some promotional materials. We’re well into the month already and we have not reached our target yet, so every push now makes a real…
