12 So.3d 883 (2009)
Matthew Michael RAMSEY, Appellant,
v.
STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 1D08-4263.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
June 24, 2009.
Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Archie F. Gardner, Jr., Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
*884 Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Giselle Denise Lylen, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
The appellant is serving probation for animal cruelty. A condition of probation is that he pay fines and fees totaling over $5,000. Over the course of his probation, the appellant has paid only a single payment of $300. He is here seeking review of an order finding him in violation of his probation for failing to make monthly payments. He argues that the trial court failed to establish he had the ability to pay the fines and fees required by his probation.
The appellant has an eighth-grade education and no G.E.D. He drives a logging truck, earning approximately $1200 each month. All of his income supports the needs of appellant and his two children.
The State must prove appellant had the ability to pay and that he willfully violated his probation. See Smith v. State, 892 So.2d 513 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004); see also Davis v. State, 704 So.2d 681 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997). The trial court found that appellant somehow could have found a way to make the payments, but those findings are speculative. There is no record evidence upon which the trial court could have found that appellant had the ability to make his monthly payments or that he willfully violated his probation.
REVERSED.
WOLF, KAHN, and VAN NORTWICK, JJ., concur.
