Additional Information
My objective has grown since the founding of my non-commercial research company, The Kirk Prevatte Foundation in 2011. I have since found that social science and humanities is an essential reason field. I have expanded to work online to encourage and promote Education, as well as peacekeeping global efforts to entrepreneurs near and far. I have worked with Rehan University via online observational regards to learning our world and current status. I have also pursued marijuana for medical purposes, in regards to helping others with Cancer, and having a need for a natural wellness plant; pursuing working with NORML in Culpepper and surrounding counties. Our Country has moved greatly in this regard, however our States are not all up for the challenging pursuit of a natural wellness regimen. I will continue to support such wellness benefits and it is my hope that shortly the Federal Government will make the necessary schedule changes, so that neglectful practices of State may no longer abuse fellow citizens in regards to this issue, for instance the World Health Organization knew the Cypress tree cures herpes in 1978, so duty requires to heal lives not neglect non-invasive healing options. I have the desire to work alongside the State in educating patients, even those with a badge, as the research on this topic has far surpassed anything that we have been shown in regards to plants and their medical benefits. I too have battled Cancer in my lifetime. I would love to extend to mentors and youth, a community causes pursuit, to allow openings for young people in regards to employment and social activities. I have initiated a total of five companies with these exact purposes, in order to benefit our community and our own family. I seem to only be lacking the funding needed to get back on the grant board. Have been in business development since 2011, and since 2019, essential services, natural wellness agricultural pursuits, victim services provider so no victims are left without help, as domestic violence has nearly destroyed my life, and yet I still persevere since our abusers are wrong and life is too beautiful to quit.
