FREE COMMUNITY SERVICES
A personal note from the/our owner:
"Mad is different from mean..."
I am going to write this entire page in a first-person tense because this page means a lot to me! It's programs, directives, missions, hopes, time, funding, EVERYTHING is coming from me; and I want to tell you why!
I was born in Owosso, MI; what was once not a bad little city. Throughout life, winding up in shelters as a child, running away (for good) at 12, having multiple siblings either die or be removed by the state before they did, my time in military and at war, work; for many reasons have I lived MANY places!
There's one thing that I've noticed from living not only ALL OVER Michigan, but in Texas, Missouri, New Jersey, Kansas, Ohio, Indiana, like I said MANY places...
People don't care! (MOST/)YOU DON'T CARE!
Everyone is so pre-occupied with using their differing variables to segregate from each other, whether EVERYONE will admit it or not, it's what YOU do! Which is dumba** circular rationale b/c you're ALL connected by the most powerful thing, and that's your values/beliefs!
And right now MOST of your beliefs are aligned under the same banner:
"Fu@# You I do what I want!; It's a free country!; Piss off & mind your own damn business!; (but ESPECIALLY the) fu@# you I do what I want!"
And you're ALL wrong! Each and every single one of you!
You're so concerned about politics and how your life and the world is bad and sucks and blah blah blah; but I see little to NO action to make things better...
It seems you're all also additionally united under the guise of begging for change but not actually wanting change! Or let's be honest, you want things to EASILY change for you and no one else; so you can feel like you're "catching-up"...That's not how it works!
You don't know me, but I'm a tough & fast talking combat veteran who has NEVER wrote a check my body couldn't cash! I'm a big angry man, but I am also one of the most sensitive HUMANS you will EVER meet! I am sensitive to your plight and the disturbing psychology that has you stuck in it...I GET IT!!!
I'm going to use my sensitive yet tough attitude, my EXTENSIVE life experience, my money, my time, my heart, all of me!...To try and re-establish the standard! I have failed, you have failed, WE have failed!
It's my firm belief that NO MATTER WHAT'S GOING ON! Crazy politics, WAR, divorce, famine, it DOESN'T MATTER!...If EVERYONE would:
- Go the posted speed limit/slow down!
- Back up! (2 feet)
- BE QUIET!/Keep our mouths shut and your loud speaker reasonable and INSIDE your HOUSE!
- Always pick up ALL of our OWN trash
- AND apply/implement 2, 3, & 4 to our children/people who represent us!
The entire world WOULD become a better place!
It is my sincere hope that by providing these services and doing my best to better create a daily example, I'll not only naturally make the city a little better, but hopefully make folks begin to appreciate their city and situations a little more!
I've gone through the tough, toxic, manipulative narrative, type divorce and haven't seen my children in years...I know what that's like and want to help you avoid that! Help you navigate the deck that is stoutly stacked against you!
I went to/FINISHED college and have YEARS of training and hundreds of successful tax returns under my belt; I can help! I interned at a non-profit after getting my degree in accounting and have helped ALL types get their taxes right!
I'm also tired of looking at a trashed town, as I watch all the same people b!+ching about the state of the world throwing their trash and attitudes EVERYWHERE; when most of them couldn't cash that check with-out a violent weapon!😢(Or a whole crew!)
Mouthy, angry, presumptuous, loud, dirty, not giving a F, the list goes on and on...The world will NEVER change that way!!! Especially, when the other parts doesn't really want (to allow) the other parts to change and vice versa!
So before we begin and I put myself out there in this new and difficult way, I want to be VERY CLEAR about one thing:
I am NOT doing this out of the goodness of my heart, from my perspective. I am doing this because I'm ANGRY! I'm going to spend MY TIME, MY MONEY, MY LIFE, trying to make change because I'm ANGRY, and I know from watching for years that you never will...Most ANY of you! Which I promise is more of a realist perspective than a nihilist perspective...
I AM 100% someone who "understands" mental health issues...To say the least! I am a very sensitive man who grew up VERY poor and dirty and will NEVER make you feel bad about anything you've done, nor anything you're seeking help for...but I also am a combat veteran 1/2 hood-rat who won't put up with ANY attitude from ANYONE! (Subliminal or otherwise!)
I can confidently paint you as fabricating a false narrative that forces me to seem contemptuous just by exercising my constitutional rights...Let's just do good works instead!
Another reason that I'll never go non-profit, my business's rules will be my business's rules that's just all there is to it. I'M THE H.N.I.C.(Head Nate In Charge!) and I'm tired of pretending like I'm not!
I love you all, it's a hate-love for sure, but I want to help you, but you've also all mostly pissed me off! You have literally compounded my own issues exponentially! Bring me ANY kind of attitude that you won't promptly correct with warning, and be shocked at how fast I returned said attitude as you're being walked out the door!
OR...or...be cool and come get some FREE help from a guy who's been there, who LIVES IT, still, every day!
I GOT YOU! You just gotta shut...(ahem) SHOW up!
COMMUNITY CLEAN-UP!!!
I have a Jeep with a hitch, I have a dump trailer, I have time, it's pretty simple...but I'm NOT going to do it alone!
I'm orchestrating 2 clean-ups/month starting this Fall! We'll go around Saginaw and pick up trash and CLEAR THE DRAIN GRATES!!!
1st run will be in the 1st week of each month, and the 2nd will be in the 3rd week of each month. (More information to come!)
I'm looking for volunteers and can accommodate transportation for up to 3 participants. I'm also currently trying to make contact with the local probation departments to become authorized to sign off on some community service. You want to contribute to a cleaner community?!?!?! JOIN ME!
Even if you can't physically volunteer: the costs of vests, bags, cones, other safety gear, GAS, and LANDFILL DUMP FEES will all be coming out of MY pocket, so a little help in that regard will always be welcomed, appreciated, fully utilized, and responsibly accounted for!
(Hence the "for profit" parts of our business. I personally don't need your dollar, but I will use it for the betterment of US!)
WANT TO VOLUNTEER OR DONATE TO THE DUMP FEES OF YOUR COMMUNITIES CLEAN-UP? CALL ME AT:
TAX PREPARATION ASSISTANCE!
Professional tax preparation by an educated, trained, and certified individual!
The I.R.S. used to provide a program for low-income, disabled, and/or elderly citizens where they could get their taxes professionally prepared and filed for free! It was called the V.I.T.A./T.C.E. Program.
For many years I volunteered for this program, and the I.R.S. has stringent training and testing regiments. One was only required to trained and certify in intake, ethics, and basic tax law training. Each year I trained & certified in intake, ethics, basic, ADVANCED, AND MILITARY tax law & preparation! (To serve my peeps...)
Of course however, with the pandemic, I've seen little of this program for the past 5-6 years, leaving a gap/need in those communities.
In efforts to help fill that gap I'm going to recertify, renew my P.T.I.N. and fulfill the required annual continuous education requirements to be able to help by providing "at cost" services for qualified individuals/families.
Until the day comes that they restart the program, I can get my (tax) office covered under grant, or I win the lotto...to able to provide 100% FREE preparation services...
Here's how it works:
- (Potentially) Belonging to an indigent, disabled, and/or elderly community; you'll call: R.A.T.H. at 989-297-5377; To see if you qualify and/or (receive intake &) schedule your appointment!
- You'll receive a reminder call before your appointment. Reminding you of date, time, and exactly what you'll need to bring with you!
- At your appointment you'll fill out applicable paperwork as we prepare your file and we'll begin.
- We will use provided information as well as potentially probing questions during preparation to create an accurate income tax return for you to review.
- We will perform a quality review and upon approval will file your taxes...That's it!
***There are specific qualifications, and services are subject to availability, but everything is AT COST!
***For ALL qualified individuals the cost of having your taxes professionally prepared/managed annually is TYPICALLY appx. $30 or less!
That's appx. $25 filing fees and $5 printing fees! FREE LABOR!
***We do not, nor want to, provide paid tax preparation services outside of this community service!
***Certain factors like investment income, mineral rights, and other devices may disqualify you. Please be honest about your situation during intake because everything comes out during preparation!
***Most can do their own, but if you struggle to understand, don't have Internet, qualify and just don't want to do your own...Gimme a call!
MAD: MALE ADVOCATES (in) DIVORCE!
LOOONG story short: I know for a FACT if I would've had a better support system, a nicer family, even just AN advocate for ME; that'd I'd still be in my children's life today!
Someone to teach me about the ins and outs of the courts, typical toxic manipulative strategies the other party may implement, how to better protect & support myself, maybe some parental training, and so many other things that could've helped ensure a longer, more successful role as the father I was supposed to be...
Please let my failures, minor triumphs, and other hard lessons help you!
I am NOT an attorney, I will/can not give you legal counsel! I CAN advise you of all the previous things listed as well as when & how to file a parental complaint, how to establish & enforce your own rights, maybe some specific perspective adjustments, and more than even just an ear and 1st hand advice I'll forge a network of community resources to include helpful lawyers!
I want NOTHING from you! I don't offer much but help & support, but I'm here! I take it back, I want from you: to be the father I wasn't allowed to be. I want from you: to not have your heart perpetually broken from losing your children for no good reason! I want from you: for you to succeed!
[If you're a female and need assistance I can provide you a list of the MILLION profit and/or NPO places designed to serve you and only you; this place NOT being one of them! I'm just a dude helping dudes, GET OVER IT!]
SUPPORT DRIVES!
As time and operations progress you'll be able to find information about ANNUAL coat/cold weather drives, toy/holiday sponsorship drives, and QUARTERLY food drives. These will have associated funds where ALL of my retail business's profits will go! We also will be accepting donations and holding events for each individual program. See information pages...
(As information/programs are developed the above associated words will become hyperlinked to information/program pages.)
NETWORK SUPPORT/AFFILIATE RESOURCES
I will daily, just like some standard social work agency, work to develop a list of community resources as well as continue to develop my own where able, like:
AUDITORY/AUDIO HEALING SERVICES!
Musical applications/implementations used to provide catharsis, mental/societal reconciliation, peace, purpose, and more...Provided by Fixional Framework!
