HopeClimb Giveaway resumes and is to be completed by years end. Starts April 1st, 2024. Giveaway Items include tool chest, Jackhammer, Ford Van and more... Keep on the lookout for upcoming video.
UPDATE 2024-12-29.. I have been posting the most recent giveaways on my "X" account. If you would like to see what I have given away, look for me @patdog68.... Also, My hope was to complete the giveaway by the end of this year, however I am delayed.. no
Update 2025-01-12.. Posted an add in Craigslist, offering a property to stay on, for displaced LA Country fire victims. I made clear in the add that the property is not ideal, however its all I can do. No response as of yet. The property is located in Wonder Valley, Ca and has no electricity or water. It also has 2 homesteads houses that are in very bad shape, however people with a motorhome would be able to take up temporary shelter.
Update 2025-01-11.. Dropped off some more tools to Habitat for Humanity. They were not able to accept a lot of electrical wire, so I will hang on to those items for now. The address is 34470 Gateway Drive. Ste 110, Palm Desert, CA. 92211, in case you would like to visit the store.
Update 2025-01-06.. I have started dropping off tools to Habitat for Humanity in Palm Desert. The address is 34470 Gateway Drive. Ste 110, Palm Desert, CA. 92211, in case you would like to visit the store. I have to admit that I considered going into the store tomorrow and buying my tools back. No, I will not do that, but it was fun to think about it.
Friends, I am providing a video of the items that will be given away, in my effort to complete my goal of giving away all of my material possessions from the date of April 1st 2022 and back to birth. This batch of items includes tools and building materials that will be donated to Habitat For Humanity, in honor of former U.S. president Jimmy Carter.
I will begin delivering items in the coming weeks. The process of giving all of my possessions has been a long hard journey, and unfortunately I have not completed the task.
I can only hope that 2025 will allow me to continue pursuing my dream to overcome my limitations and be a positive influence on society.
My goal for this upcoming year will be - "Don't Give Up Hope". And in an effort to further this goal, I will try to quit smoking.. It's been a very painful experience being addicted to smoking for the last 3 1/2 years, and if I can quit, there may be hope. If not, I will continue suffering and dying slowly. So to this, I destroy the last remaining cigarette in my pack. It's a lot easier said than done, and so I will keep you updated. OK, I have successfully quit for 5 minutes..
The Hope Climb December Give Away, included a complete compter system build, with all the components to build a custom quiet/efficient P.C.. After the final drawing was completed and the computer build was given away, I decided to build the computer myself and then give it to the winner. My reasoning was that the winner was not able to build it themselves and I wanted to make sure it was intact and ready to use. Please watch this complete computer build, including all components and operating system.

HopeClimb Project #1
This project was choosen, due to the amazing efforts in behalf of animals by a very special lady who has spent many years caring for dogs and cats. Along the way, she met a homeless woman at a local animal group and opened her home to help the women with her 15 cats. The situation became progressivley worse as the years went on and the cats doubled in size. Finally Judy of SCT retrievers was forced to ask the person to leave. Judy was then tasked with caring for the remaining cats, which was 15. Judy never gave up on the cats and made sure that they recieved medical attention, proper homes for a few, and cat sanctuaries for the rest. The cat sanctuaries that recieved the cats are:
1) Viva in Lompac https://www.vivashelter.org/
2) C.A.T.S. (commited allinace to strays) in Oregon http://www.kittensandcats.org/
And most importantly, the lady who cared for our four legged friends is Judy from SCT Retrievers. You can view her work at:
