Im a mom - with 4 kids.  My dream is to get a goat farm going,and employ people with disabilities to look after the animals, and to help others who maybe can't go out to work full time but maybe work an hour or two.   We got some of the goats,and i would love to be able to get a proper farm, and dairy facilities and legally produce and sell the milk, and make ice cream and other dairy products.   But unfortunately, goats are still considered 2nd class citizens and its hard to get anything when your broke.  Nobody takes you seriously.   When you have no money, no banks, or anyone will give grants to get things started.  We need, land, machinery, etc.  But nothing to do it with. We were behind on our mortgage, electric, and other areas.   Our youngest daughter needs special shoes which will cost  300 but we can't afford it.     I don't want to be a millionaire, but I would like to be free of mortgages, or if we got a farm, and the money to pay for it and the equipment necessary to get started, would be fantastic.

Well, it looks like nothing is going to happen, we can't afford to take the next step. Our eldest is going to be in college in 2 years and I don't know how we are going to pay for it if we don't get the milk started for next year. We are a few animals short, and short on money to get the milking machinery and to get the set up legal so that we are allowed to sell the milk. If we had just that bit of extra cash we could be up and running in 6 months! Our daughter needs special shoes which we can't swing at the moment - but if we get up and running then the extra monthly cheque could help fund that. We have no health insurance either. Again - money!
