Projects
project 1
Jacob House is meant to be temporary dormitory style housing for 18-21 year olds. It is to curb homelessness in high risk young adults who need a place to live until they can afford more permanent housing. We want to help them get jobs, finish high school or start college, get drivers licenses, set up bank accounts, and many other things children with loving parents take for granted. The initial focus will be young adults aging out of foster care and those who lack a a safe home environment.
project 2
Hills Pet Rescue will be a state of the art pet shelter in Scott County, TN. We would like to start by housing homeless pets and then expand to include a spay and neuter center, live streaming of the facility and animals, and outreach pet programs like pet assistance for the elderly. There is no shelter in Scott County. This is not to discredit other programs that assist with pets but to invite those programs to work in unison with the rescue.
We would also like to provide a Pet Links Message Board to assist in locating lost pets, linking those with pets that need homes with those who want pets, and encourage the community to have those pets spayed and neutered.
project 3
The Vault is a teen safe space. We live in a small town where there are very few places and activities for teens. Many cruise and park in shopping center parking lots. Many of the places that were available are closed now.
Role playing card game tournaments, dances, video game tournaments and a live stream studio are some of the features we are considering as well as quiet environments to study and do homework. The main idea is to create a safe and tolerant environment for teens to meet and socialize while promoting healthy pursuits rather than drug use and incarceration.
