Personal Testimony
I am pipe fitter by trade, Metal Artist by passion and the Founder of Raising Angel’s Foundation. This is my story. This is my dream. My father was a Hul Tech in the Navy and peaked my interest in metal works and auto mechanics at a young age. The leading joy of my life is upcyling my art work and barrel racing my horses. At this juncture I endeavor to purchase my first home. My own piece of property where I may continue my agricultural career, create my work, and eventually host informative agricultural workshops through my foundation. Where seminars and interactive agricultural events will be free to the public as well as,sanctioned equine veteran therapy. All artwork purchased at this time contributes towards the facilitation of this goal. I am so tremendously thankful to God for giving me this time and opportunity in life and thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me!
I presently teach a 12 year old protege whom exhibits exceptional natural born talent in both horseback riding and artistry. The concept of dimension the child demonstrates at such a young age can only be credited as a God given talent, and the character development in this young lady from her involvement in barrel racing is one of the reasons why I write to you today. I believe in this young gal whole heartedly and being apart of the young women she is growing up to become is one of the greatest joys of my life. I believe given the chance we could collectively amask a tremendous amount of success in the sport. In an addition to my program I intend to build amenities that could facilitate proper training grounds for riders like her and and myself at the property I plan to purchase. I will do whatever it takes to give her and I the chance I believe we deserve to succeed. I am a women with 3 Union Welding Certifications, a NYS EMT Certification and a successfully completed production agricultural apprenticeship. I have devoted my life in its entirety to becoming a woman that will not allow this project to fail.
What is The Raising Angels Foundation Inc.?
The Raising Angels Foundation specializes in Agricultural Education in youth and young adults. For how would you know if you might be interested in career in agriculture and craftsmanship if you weren’t born on a farm or a family within the trades? Hosting workshops and seminars free to the public quarterly in the form of seasonal harvest festivals. The Raising Angels Foundation has had past success hosting our annual “Brunch for the Brave” where the director arranged the donation of local farm products for a sizeable breakfast buffet and Team Angel competing amongst each other and local competitors as a form of entertainment. The reasoning for this is for the veterans to be able to see what their sacrifice has enable. The progress of young people advancing competitively and agriculturally. For them, and sponsors to be able to observe the advancement of students and sponsored riders year after year and witness their development. It is our vision for the future to be able to facilitate equine veteran therapy and interactive agricultural education. At this time, our sole focus is to build our facility for Summer of 2025 to be able to accommodate our planned programs and sponsored riders.
How will the foundation select sponsored riders?
At this time riders are selected amongst a tight knit community by the director and fellow competitors. To force ensure quality and attention to detail a very select few will be chosen. In the future, team members will be required to be nominated in the form of a written letter by someone outside of their immediate family.
Who will the foundation sponsor?
Unlike other sponsors in our industry that specifically sponsor mainstream athletes that attain the most media attention, we would select individuals that we observe exhibiting natural born talent that would thrive if only given the opportunity. These riders would be believed to have the potential to excel with access to capital and resources.
Testament
Over the last 6 months I have worked tirelessly attending the most popular and mainstream events in the Northeast to keep the company relevant and in the eyes of many. I feel it is my destiny to build this program. We were not meant to pay bills and then just die; we were all sent here with certain character traits for a purpose! I feel building a facility to educate individuals about agricultural is mine, and in the simplest terms. Teaching kids that eggs don’t come from the store!
