WISH LIST FOR OUR FACILITY

For the Facility - It is our hope that we will raise enough funds to be able to purchase the land. If not there could be a possibility that someone in the area might have ten or more acres close to 71 highway in Bates County Missouri that they would be willing to donate to us so that we get started on this project. Keep in mind that we are starting from scratch. We have never built a facility before nor have we ever had the funds to even consider to start a project of this size. We are asking for everything from A-Z to be able to get this facility built.
