In 2019, Lawrence participated in Love is in the meadow in the hope of finally finding happiness. And it was the case ! Indeed, thanks to his suitor Maud, the timid breeder of cows and sheep is now a man in love. Unfortunately, his daily life is not a long calm river. On the contrary, he still suffers enormously from the precariousness of his profession. In 2020, due to the drought, it experienced financial difficulties. Seeing his farm in Saint-Hilaire-en-Morvan (Nièvre) wither away, he had no choice but to ask for help by launching a Leetchi kitty.
With the money raised, he intended to get his head above water, but in story Instagram, he explained that he had accumulated new debts because of his kitty. “Unfortunately, a new hard blow fell on my head. By carrying out my balance sheet, the collection has greatly increased my taxes to pay. I had not planned this in the amount collected on Leetchi“, he said sorry. Result, in a few months, Laurent will have to pay a dizzying sum. “I have to pay about 30,000 euros in various taxes by the end of the year“, he announced. And for him to fear for his future: “Once again my exploitation and my passion are in danger because I will not be able to meet these reimbursements in addition to my other expenses.“
Laurent therefore decided to appeal once again to the generosity of his community. But this time, Maud’s companion has decided to trust the Miimosa platform which offers citizens and businesses the opportunity to finance sustainable agriculture and food projects.
It remains to be hoped that things will work out by the end of the year for Laurent, who has experienced difficult times in recent years. For example, he has already admitted to having considered the worst. “I had arrived at a stage, at the time, where I saw everything in black, I was all alone. I was not well. I had intended at one time to do things that shouldn’t be done, like committing suicide“, he revealed to Jeremstar.
