Catch A Dream

<p>First, the bad news...</p> <p>June 8, 2012 I had a heart attack. I had been working as a carpenter for over 30 years. No insurance, no retirement, no savings.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>More bad news, our home burned down August 3rd, 2012.</p> <p>That morning started like any other. On the job by 7:30, building a back patio cover, cutting boards, nailing up the beams with nail guns. We didn't have all the wood we needed so I went to the lumber yard.</p> <p>On the way my heart started to hurt, I mean like an extreme muscle cramp. So I pulled over and went into a grocery store. I asked to lay down in the break room and told someone my heart was hurting.</p> <p>The manager came in and asked if I needed an ambulance. I finally submitted and went to the hospital. When I arrived at the hospital, they immediately started putting die in my blood and determined I had a blockage in my heart and I needed to go to surgery.</p> <p>The next thing I knew was I was waking up after the surgery. They had put a stent inside the left anterior descending artery of my heart. They said it had been over 95% blocked.</p> <p>So now on the other side, a few weeks later, I have all the bills in. Guess how much it cost for my 3 day vacation in the hospital that day. All totaled so far it is over $64,000. As of this writing I haven't worked for almost a month. They said not to lift more than 10lbs. Good luck...</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>To help with our second disaster, the loss of our home to the wildfires I have created this campaign&nbsp; http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/199049</p> <p><br /><br /></p> <p>Now, the good news, and why I'm here.</p> <p>First I have a setup a funding campaign to restore our losses. And then...</p> <p>I have a dream. But I have more than a dream. My dream is to help others realize their own dreams.</p> <p>You see, before my heart attack I had started a business plan I call the Dream Catcher Code. It has 4 general phases. Phase 1 is the idea generation phase, where I show people how to program their mind and spirit to become an idea generating machine.</p> <p>In the rest of the system I take people through a process step by step to show them how to take the best ideas and dreams and share them with others to make a wildly prosperous business.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I need help not to just pay my bills, that would be selfish. I need help so I can catch my dream and show how others, like me, can become dream catchers too.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
