The Gonçalves Family
We’ve spent years building a home worth coming home to. Now we’d love the opportunity to rest.
Our story
We’re a Texas family building a homestead, a business and a life rooted in faith, family and stewardship. When our rental was sold, we had two months to find a home and $0 in savings after my husband’s immigration process. God made a way, and our son found the acreage we now call home. Today we’re raising and rescuing animals, growing food, building businesses and building a life with faith, sweat and grit.
What the weekend would mean to us
Our life is beautiful, but relentless. A weekend at the ranch would give us something we rarely get: intentional rest together. I’d love to share it with my husband and our son, who works tirelessly beside us. We’d reconnect, laugh, sleep, breathe and enjoy one another without thinking about the next chore or project. We aren’t looking to escape the life we’ve built. We’d simply love to be refreshed enough to come home renewed. And the $5,000 would help us continue caring for our rescued animals and growing the homestead we’ve worked so hard to build.
