My name is John Martinez, and I am a 57-year-old man who lost my leg at the age of 17. While that changed my life, I have never allowed my disability to define who I am. Throughout the years, I have worked hard, stayed independent, and always looked, opportunities where I could contribute my best.

Most recently, I worked as an Uber driver, a job I truly enjoyed because it allowed me to support myself while serving others in y community. Unfortunately, I was involved in a rear-end accident that resulted in a concussion. Although I fully recovered, was medically cleared by my doctor, and had my driver license reinstated, Uber ultimately declined to allow me to return because of the incident, even though I was not at fault.

Losing my income had devastating consequences. I fell behind on my rent was eventually evicted. Thankfully, I have since secured housing for the time being.

Today, my focus is on the future. Rather than depending on others, I want to create my opportunity by starting a manufacturing business. My goal is to build a company that provides financial stability, restores my independence, and allows me to create something meaningful that can support my family for years to come.

To make this vison a reality, I am seeking to raise $250,000. These funds will be used to purchase manufacturing equipment, secure a suitable workspace, obtain materials, cover startup expenses, and stablish a strong foundation for the business. Every contribution, regardless of the amount, brings me one step closer to achieving this goal.

This isn’t just an investment in a business it’s an investment in someone who refuses to give up. I have overcome tremendous obstacles throughout my life, and with your support, I can turn adversity into opportunity.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, believe in my vision, and consider supporting my journey. Your generosity, encouragement, and kindness mean’s more than words can express. Together, we can build a future defined not by setback, but by perseverance, purpose, and hope.

My company is innovative and ahead of the curve.

I call it Fortress Male Hygiene, LLC.

I have invented a dispenser that will dispense moisturized wipes infused with two proprietary medications that have already been tested and proven to show that they are killing sexually transmitted diseases if caught in their earliest stages. The money I am seeking is for having professional plans created. Presentation slideshows, a professionally created pitch deck, renderings, and finally 3-D models and prototypes.

This money will prepare and enable me to get in front of private, high-net-worth investors at the next funding stage. At this juncture, I am only seeking $50,000.

Hello

thank you for visiting my post. I am a psychiatric nurse with multiple sclerosis. My disease has progressed so I have not been able to work since March 2025. I am trying to start an Etsy shop. I will be selling digital and print on demand products. I am needing 15-20000 dollars to work with coaches to help make my shop successful. I was just told I need to replace the engine in my car. I am in a tight situation and could use some help financially. I am requesting your assistance to help make this a successful start to my business! Thank you very much for considering the help.

Please support Janie’s Hands Veterans Transitioning Housing Program Inc. in its mission to keep its doors open for veterans in transition in the Delaware communities and counties: New Castle, Kent, and Sussex. Donations are needed to save our veterans from homelessness.

• Covering the facility’s monthly rental and utility bills.
• Equipping veterans with the basic items they need when they arrive with nothing.
• Maintaining the bridge between homelessness and permanent housing, which includes providing space for veterans returning from rehabilitation programs

The program often struggles with recurring operational costs such as utilities (light and rent) and providing essential food and staples for the residents. 

• Funding directly supports veterans until they can secure permanent apartments and achieve self-sustainability.

Mystiq Sol’s purpose is to help people find balance, relieve stress, and reconnect with themselves in a nurturing environment. My mission is to empower clients to manage their own well-being, create an inclusive healing space, and build a supportive community where everyone feels safe and valued.

I believe true healing starts within. Mystiq Sol Reiki is about giving people not just a relaxing session but the knowledge and tools they need to maintain harmony in their everyday lives. Many people feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and life changes but don’t know where to turn for natural, gentle support. Mystiq Sol aims to fill this gap by providing affordable, accessible Reiki and spiritual wellness products that bring peace and balance to daily life.

Services & Products

Mystiq Sol Reiki offers services and products designed to work together for deep, lasting results.

Reiki Sessions: Reiki helps people relax, release tension, and balance their energy. Each session is personalized to what the client needs, whether it’s stress relief, emotional support, or help with physical discomfort.

Spiritual Products: Mystiq Sol offers carefully curated crystals, smudging kits, chakra stones, candles, and other tools. These products allow clients to bring healing into their daily rituals and continue their practice at home. Bundled kits and subscriptions will encourage ongoing use and connection.

Workshops & Events: I will host group healing sessions, workshops, and community gatherings. These events help people learn more about Reiki, connect with others, and build community. Events can include topics like meditation, energy balancing, or setting intentions.

Online Store: To reach clients beyond my local area, Mystiq Sol’s online store will offer products, bundles, and subscriptions so people anywhere can benefit from Reiki tools and resources.

Mystiq Sol Reiki’s clients are people who need relief, support, and tools to heal themselves. My ideal audience includes:

Empaths, caregivers, or wellness-minded people who often give their energy to others and need a safe space to restore their energy healing.

What Makes Mystiq Sol Unique

Mystiq stands out by combining healing services, spiritual retail, community learning in one. Many practices only offer sessions. Mystiq goes further offering products and education that help clients maintain their healing journey at home.

My approach is personalized and authentic. Every client gets individual attention, more than just a relaxing session. They leave with knowledge, inspiration, and practical tools.

This model allows Mystiq Sol to grow beyond local sessions. With a online shop, workshops, and virtual events, business can expand without high overhead. Vision to become a trusted source for Reiki, spiritual tools, and community support locally and online.

Have applies to several grants, but no success. I have built this far on my own.

Raising –  $25,000 to continue growth and help with past debt.

Mystiq Sol

Hello everyone,

I’m here because I need a little help and I’m not ashamed to ask.

I’m trying to raise $20,000 to open a small candy store in my hometown. It’s a quiet, close-knit town, but over the years we’ve lost a lot of the small local businesses that gave it character and joy. I’ve always dreamed of bringing something happy and simple back to the community.

The idea is a cozy candy shop—classic candies, nostalgic treats, and affordable sweets for kids, families, and anyone who just needs a smile. Nothing fancy, just a warm place filled with color and happiness.

I work hard, but starting a business requires money upfront for permits, initial inventory, equipment, and getting a small space ready. I’ve saved what I can, but I can’t reach this goal alone. That’s why I’m humbly asking for help here.

Any amount—$1, $5, or more—brings me closer to opening this store and creating something positive in my town. If you can’t donate, even taking the time to read this means a lot to me.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. I truly appreciate every bit of support!

I’m the founder of a newly formed LLC in Illinois, a recycling and repurposing business born from both necessity and legacy.

My father, Frank, spent his life hunting for treasures in what most people called “junk.” He dove into dumpsters, combed parking lots for pennies, scoured auctions and estate sales, and filled shelves with glassware, curiosities, and broken bits with hidden beauty. As a kid, I used to cringe, embarrassed by his oddities. But after he passed—and after walking through some of the darkest times of my life—I finally understood what he saw: possibility. I inherited a few old trailers he left behind and my initial plan was to scrap them out. But as I began sorting the contents, I realized they were full of his treasures—vintage glassware-depression glass, carnival glass, milk glass, art glass-as well as antique tools, old vintage chainsaws, countless collectible items and repurposable materials, old computers and electronics, a very old  jukebox, and the coolest pharmaceutical triple beam scales from the late 1930’s. Turns out my dad was far more knowledgeable and interesting than I ever gave him credit for and I wish he would have been here still to see the transformation I underwent out in those trailers.

That’s when I inherited the passion for treasures and this idea was born—not just as a business, but as a mission to honor his spirit: a spirit to rescue, restore, and rehome discarded objects.

Every year, the U.S. sends over 146 million tons of waste to landfills. According to a study done by the EPA, 75% of waste in the US could be reused or recycled. Furniture, textiles, glassware, electronics, and clothing often end up buried instead of reborn. If even small community projects like mine diverted just .01% of that waste, we could keep 14,600 tons of usable material out of landfills each year—reducing emissions, saving energy, and creating local jobs.

That’s what I’m trying to do here in Illinois.

My goal is to create a local reuse and recycling hub that:

• Sorts and cleans usable goods saved from the landfill
• Refurbishes items to original condition (or close to it)
• Creates jobs with profit sharing
• Sells reusable items locally and online
• Recycles recyclable materials (metals, precious metals, electronics, aluminum, plastic, glass, cardboard and compost) at local recycling centers and scrapyards.
• Offers pickups for unwanted but usable items
• Donates time, materials and money toward educating the public about waste and creating a circular economy
• Gives back to the community.  We have committed to donating 10% of our e-commerce sales. Once our business is stable, we will raise that percentage.
• Aims to standardize a circular economy system
• Create a community compost garden where locals can bring compostables in exchange for fresh veggies, fresh herbs, or quality potting soil.
• Inspires others to rethink what they throw away
• Makes trash look good ;)

I’ve registered my business with the state already, but I’m seeking donations to help cover essential startup costs such as vehicle maintenance, sorting materials, cleaning equipment, tools, personal protective equipment, gasoline, and essential  marketing materials—The market is huge. And ripe. Startup money could put us ahead years, at the forefront of a movement that will eventually become the global standard.

Even a small contribution helps move this mission forward.

This isn’t just a business; it’s a legacy—for my dad, Frank, and for everyone who ever saw something beautiful in the broken.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and believing in second chances—for materials, for people, and for the planet.
