My little work from home business started due to a rough period of time in my life that I was going through not to long ago. I had a major emergency surgery that left me with permanent lifetime complications and internal damage that almost cost me my life. I couldn’t work for months because I had developed bowel obstruction for 4 months and became septic and almost died on top of several other medical challenges.
I became very down due to my constant going in and out of the hospital for about 2.5 years due to massive infections stemming from that botched abdominal life-threatening appendix surgery and several family tragedies involving gun violence that hit my family right behind each other and then the death of mom due to illness was the final straw.
One day I went to my local craft store and walked the isles for about 2 hrs and liked the idea of making my own organic soaps, candles, body oils, lotions, invitations and engraving on wood, glass and other products. I have invested all of my life savings into buying supplies and products such as: candles, wicks, burners, plastic containers, glass jars, herbs, powders, fragrances, essential oils, soap base, soap making products, lotion base and lotion products, molds, shipping supplies, labels, wood, metal sheeting and leather to engrave on.
I’m trying to employ at least 2-3 part-time to full-time employees to help me in building up my business for success. I had to stop the running of my business due to the shut down and lack of supply and demand when a lot of the companies I brought products from stop distribution at the time of the covid lockdown. I have bins of products but I’m hoping to find some financial assistance to get back on my feet and to help others.
I would like to be able to buy additional products which is what I have been doing but my finances have run out. Some of the everyday products that I need now are these various machineries such as:
The Glowforge Aura Laser Cutting Machine 22”, $1,200, Personal Air Filter, $1,300, (2 of these machine), Glowforge Pro (Need 2 Of These Machines) $7,000 each, Xtool Embossing Machine/Laser Vinyl Engraving Machine, $2,375, Cricut Venture, $1,000, Glowforge Proofgrade Essential Bundle $100 & Exhaust Chamber (2 of these) $1,300.
It comes upto around $22,875 and about another $10,000 to start up hiring some employees
I’ve also started to make my own agendas and yearly planner books but I have to use a publishing company which will cost me a lot and I really can’t afford it when I can do it myself if I had the appropriate machinery.
I also love engraving wood, leather and glass but to do each item manually is hard and painstaking. These machines all play a vital part and would help me tremendously to get my business back up and running again and I would be able to accomplish much more in a tremendously faster time frame without all the scrapes and bruising from making items one by one.
Thank you for any time and assistance that you are able to give me.
