Note from Farmer Jim

Thank you for taking time to read this. I am Jim Bonham Founder & CEO of Lighthouse Food Farm.

When God called me to start the Lighthouse Food Farm, I chose to spend my life's saving the last eight (8) years to Help others rather than worry about myself. Maybe that was a bad decision on my part but, if I die tomorrow, I feel that I did the right thing in helping others.

I have been looking for work to help save the farm and for that matter... myself. Jobs are hard to come by these days... especially at my age.

Since I have not been able to get employment, I have started writting eBooks in hopes to make a living and support our nonprofit farm to help feed the hungry (Lighthouse Food Farm). It is my last hope in supporting the farm and in supporting my wife and myself.

Here is a list of my eBooks I have "For Sale"

Each one has a link to that Specific eBook:

My books are informational that can and will help people in many different ways and entertain them as well.

I need your help in getting the word out about my eBooks. Again, I see this as my last hope in keeping the farm in operation and for that matter, the means of my wife and I surviving this situation.

I have always been self efficient in my life but the last couple of years have been really tough. If it wasn't for the Good Heart of Donors, we would have been shut down way before now. Our donors have come from all over the world, Canada, UK, Australia and from all over the United States of America - just to mention a few. I say "Thank You" for I know that if it wasn't for you as donors the Lighthouse Food Farm could not have lasted as long as it has.

As far as my personal life - YES!, I could probably sign up for foodstamps or maybe even get disability. I am just not that type of person.

WHY won't I sign up for foodstamps or disability? Because I feel that there are more people in our country that could use that HELP more desparately than I could. I couldn't live with myself if I knew that someone was not getting Help because I was receiving diability or foodstamps.

Unless my eBooks sell... I do not see the chance for the farm or my wife and I to survive the situation any longer. Will we live? Yes, of course we will because fortunately I am able to grow some food. Maybe even pick up a odd job here and there, but Helping others has been the better part of our lives for the last eight years of our lives. How do you go from that to being self-centered on just surviving yourself?

Thank you for taking time to read this article, I really apreciate your time.

Sincerely,

Jim Bonham
