Well hello there!

I am a glassblower/flameworker and have been working with glass for the last few years. In that time, I have developed a reputation for having standout glass character designs and speedy turnaround for wholesale and retail orders. Previously, I worked out of my home studio but I have since moved out of state for my husband’s work. Because we are now renting, I cannot have a studio and there are no renters where I live willing to let me set up shop.

This is where you’re amazing generosity may come in. I am raising funds to build a mobile glassblowing/flameworking studio. This studio will not only house all of the equipment necessary to make glass sculptures, but also will house a small gallery to show allow potential clients to view, in real time, what their finished products will look like. There will be at least 3 workstations, so that I can teach classes while traveling and at shows. Essentially, this studio will be used to travel to different locations and schools to not only make and sell glassworks, but also to teach those that wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity.

At this time, I am only asking for $20,000 that will be used to build the studio, buy torches and kilns for the workstations.

Please help me reach my goal and thank you so much for even considering it and reading my plea. I hope you have a wonderfully, generous day!

Hey everyone! 👋 I wanted to share a bit about my journey into entrepreneurship and the challenges I’m facing while trying to kickstart a computer support business aimed at helping our local businesses in need of reliable IT support. 🖥️💼

The Vision: I’ve always had a passion for technology, and I believe that every local business should have access to affordable and dependable IT services. Our community is teeming with small businesses, but many of them struggle with their computer systems and networks due to budget constraints.

The Hurdles: One of the most significant challenges on this journey is securing the funding needed to turn this vision into a reality. Launching a business comes with upfront costs that can be quite daunting, including registering the business, setting up a professional online presence, and acquiring the essential software and hardware.

Investing in Knowledge: Staying on top of the ever-evolving tech landscape is crucial. I’ve been investing in my skills and knowledge to provide top-notch IT support to our local businesses, which means training and certifications—another cost to factor in.

Connecting with Clients: Building a client base is a gradual process. I’ve been attending local business events, joining associations, and even cold-calling potential clients. However, making these connections takes time, and sometimes, a financial investment is needed to speed up the process.

Cash Flow Concerns: Managing cash flow can be a real tightrope walk, especially in the early stages. There are operating expenses like utilities, transportation, and insurance that need to be covered even before substantial income starts flowing in from clients.

Scaling Up: Looking ahead, I’m excited about the potential to grow the business. But that too requires funding—whether it’s hiring additional staff, expanding our services, or investing in advanced IT tools to meet the evolving needs of our clients.

The Way Forward: While the journey has its share of challenges, I’m not giving up. I’m exploring various funding options, from personal savings to business loans and even grants. My determination to provide local businesses with reliable IT support keeps me going, and I believe that with the right strategy and community support, we can make this vision a reality.

Donations to a small business like mine are very much appreciated. Your support mean the world to me as I work towards bringing affordable and dependable IT solutions to our local businesses!

Hello! I started a website from scratch. I got it up and running but could use more capital to help grow my online business so it would get found by more people.  The website is called fabestechreviews.com

It’s a news and product reviews site. I need around $5,000 for marketing.  If I receive the money, I will use it to hire a company called The Hoth. They are professionals at helping people grow their online businesses.  The only catch is they cost a lot of money to hire them.

Please help me grow my oiliness business.  Onc I make enough, then I can return the favor and help those need funds to fuel their small businesses.

To whom this may concern

i was asking for dome funds to help me to get a boost in life. i have a good head on my shoulders i have graduated college with a presidential awards meaning i graduated with a 4.0 and never missed a day. i did get financial aid but was still left to pay off the rest. Let me backup a little letting you know that i was a russian refugee that came to the US, Colorado specifically in 1994 which would of made me 5 at the time. i grew up with my grandparents and a mentally challenged mother. I dont want to use that as an excuse but bottom line it had made it difficult to get a good push start in life. Especially now with my grandparents getting closer to the end being the only one that speaks the English language and having to spend nights in the hospital whenever one or the other ends up getting hospitalized. I know of my sperm donor of a father but hes been out of the picture my whole life. I truly dont like being negative and using these as excuses to get money. But if you would be kind enough to give me tha start that most of the american kids get that grew up with a what you would call a normal family, or normal enough i guess. Dont get me wrong i love my family and wouldnt change them for anyone but sometimes dreams do come across the mind.

Anyway i do have a bunch of ideas for example in college (Redstone Aviation College) going thru the main electronic classes. My notebooks would be full of ideas of inventions. For instance before the wireless chargers came out i swear i had drawings of it in my notebook 2 years before the thought even came and then i notice commercials for it. Wishing i had the funds to sponsor such an idea i would of been a millionaire by now. Like i was saying i do have a good head on my shoulders and if i had a little boost financially i could get going further then ever in life. i do work but with time being limited having to take care of my grandparents and my mother . So it would be awesome if i could get something going online to make passive income. With all the research on making money online seems like you need some extra funds in my account either way which i dont have at the moment.

Alls im asking is for a little help to get over this hump of the rat race and barely making it paycheck to paycheck, pay back my tuition and what i owe credit wise, a drivable vehicle and some money to get started in making money passively and possibly some funds for some of these inventions and apps i had in mind. Once i have that im confident that i can get the gears spinning fast enough to be up and ahead in life in just a few months and i would definetely give back to the people who will need money in the future. I mean either way if i had money i would always gice back to the people, it seems like im usually im the only one helping out, so itd be nice to get some help for a change. Id be ever so grateful and thankful for anything .

thank you for your time and bless you all

Hello Community,

First, let me extend my sincere gratitude for taking the time to read my story. I’ve embarked on a journey that has the potential to redefine and significantly improve the logistics and supply chain industry, impacting countless businesses and individuals who rely on efficient transportation. Today, I’m humbly reaching out to you for support in accelerating this dream into a tangible reality.

The inefficiencies in our current logistics world are glaring. From double brokering issues to communication gaps between carriers, brokers, and shippers, it often feels like the industry is operating in decades past. The pain points are numerous: drivers are left waiting for loads, dispatchers grapple with unclear communication, and brokers remain unsure if their cargo will reach its destination on time. These inefficiencies not only cost money but also time, trust, and, in many cases, environmental resources due to delayed shipments and fuel waste.

I am at the helm of a project that aims to change all of that. Picture a platform where all parties involved in the transportation of goods can seamlessly connect, communicate, and ensure the safe and efficient delivery of shipments. This platform is designed with the latest technologies, ensuring transparency, accountability, and real-time updates. Gone would be the days of uncertainty and tedious back-and-forth calls. This solution would make double brokering virtually impossible and significantly reduce any potential fraudulent activities.

But, beyond the technology and the platform’s capabilities, it’s about creating a community, a unified ecosystem where trust and reliability are paramount. As the industry grows and global trade continues to expand, there’s an increasing need for modern solutions that can scale and adapt to the ever-evolving challenges of logistics.

Now, here’s where you come in. Building such a platform demands not just time and dedication but also financial resources for development, testing, and ensuring it meets industry standards. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will go directly towards the development and enhancement of this platform. Every dollar brings us one step closer to a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable logistics industry.

In return for your support, I promise to keep you updated on our progress. Your investment is not just in a platform but in a vision of a smoother, more connected global trade environment. Once we are up and running, I am confident that the ripples of positive change will be felt across many sectors and regions.

Thank you for considering being a part of this journey. Your belief in our vision and your support could be the catalyst that turns this dream into a game-changing reality for countless individuals and businesses.

Warm regards,

Mehmed

Hello,

I worked for a company for 5 years. I was misclassified as an independent contractor. I addressed my misclassification to my employer and have ultimately been fired for doing so.

Even though I knew it was wrong, and even though I knew I was being taken advantage of, I still continued to work for the company for as long as I did because I LOVED MY JOB.

I worked long, hard hours. Some weeks I worked 60-70 hours. I had A TON of responsibility. I was on call 24/7.

And yes, despite the hours, the unfair pay, and the unrealitic expectations of my employer…..I know it sounds insane….. but I still LOVED what I did.

The owner of the company I worked for (who I answered to and he was my boss) lived 7 hours away and rarely made a visit because he was lucky enough to have an overachieving, pushover like me to completely run his business for him for pennies on the dollar.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I am a woman doing a man’s job in the oil fields. I am not embarrassed of the type of work I did as a diesel mechanic and field service generator technician…. I’m embarrassed to admit that I was afraid I couldn’t find a similar job because I am a woman.

My boss knew this. He took advantage of my fear. It’s my fault for letting him.

As time went on I began to resent my boss for taking advantage of me.  I started to see that he was stealing from me by not paying me fairly or putting me on the books like he should.  And all the while, my hard work and sacrifices (all for the love of the job), was contributing to his business becoming more and more successful.  I wanted to see the company succeed, and in a way….I measured my success with the company’s success.  Even though I had absolutely nothing to gain (monetarily) for the successful growth of the business, I was still happy and proud knowing that I played a key role in the company’s growth and at the very least, I had some job security because with the growth…there was plenty of work that needed to be done.

Fast forward a couple of years, I trained and hired a handful of people (on behalf of the owner) to help do my part of the job. At this point, I still had not seen a raise.

I asked the owner if he would at the very least consider reclassifying me as an employee, and this led to me losing my job since now he had 5 other people trained and familiar with the work that needed to be done.

Later, I found out that he hired those individuals as employees.

Why push me out? Discrimination? I became a liability because he knows I should have been an employee all this time?  I think about the ‘why’ part of it often.

My name is Zaitun, I am a young Ugandan entrepreneur whose business is at the verge of collapsing due to hefty taxes, debts lack of enough capital. I am one person who believes in working for myself other depending on other people although that doesn’t mean that I never need a helping hand.

In 2011 while still at college I tested positive for HEPATITIS B through a community health program but I was told that the numbers of virus copies were still low hence I couldn’t start an immediate treatment. I was however warned that the disease I had was a bit expensive thus I had to work harder to keep a good health and be able to receive proper medical treatment.

I was lucky to have gotten myself a job immediately I finished college and I opened up an account to start saving for my treatment, business and further studies. I did so well that I managed to get a university degree, and in February 2020 I opened up stationery shop with the little I had in my savings account and as any new business that requires money injection mine too needed that but since I had my formal employment I kept using my monthly salary to help me operate smoothly.

However, things took a wrong turn in April when Uganda registered its first COVID-19 patient and schools had to close down with immediate effect this was very unfortunate because my business main consumers are school going children, since the stationery shop mainly deals is office consumables, textbooks and scholastic materials.

This really costed me since I was only beginning and I also lost my job because the company I worked had to downsize as it was also affected by the pandemic leaving me with no job and business that was not actively operating at the moment and yet I had so many responsibilities.

I have 4 orphans who are under my care and 3 of them are below 8 years and the eldest is 17yrs old and my main source of income was my business which was closed for close to two and a half years. Life after pandemic has been very hard I was slapped with a letter from Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) that I had to pay taxes worth $3,000 yet my business was not actively operating and I also had to pay for rent arrears of $2,500 this led me into borrowing money from the local money lenders which has become so hard to settle them all.

The kids under my care are about to miss school if my business is taken by the money lenders and I can barely afford my medical bills and the basic needs for both my dependents and myself.

It’s for those reasons that I kindly request for a business funding of $10,000 from well wishers to help get back on my feet and be able to take care of myself and my dependents

Cassiopeia Schooner Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization seeking others who share our passion for positively effecting global inequities and supporting community growth. I am the founder, Captain Harold Neel, and I have this passion, having lived aboard my 63-foot, wooden schooner for 35 years. I have lived in small island communities throughout the Caribbean and South Pacific and have learned valuable lessons about cultural sensitivities and other local issues involved with the “aid” efforts I’ve seen. I’ve initiated this project to provide environmental and social support to economically challenged coastal communities around the world using and building wooden sailing vessels. We will create global awareness of the issues and demonstrate on-the-ground actions concerning reefs, climate change, deforestation, health, agriculture, economic infrastructure, and much more. The non-profit, Cassiopeia Schooner Project Inc. is currently about to launch our mothership, the 70-foot, wooden schooner, Cassiopeia II, after an extensive re-fit, with our first mission sailing to the Abacos Islands of the Bahamas to deliver aid for continuing recovery from hurricane Dorian. Hurricane Dorian was an extremely catastrophic, Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that became the most intense tropical cyclone on record to strike the Bahamas nation in 2019.

I have attached our presentation document and to find out all about me simply Google, Harold Neel, and I’m the first thing that comes up. I’ve written a book entitled, ‘From the Bottom Up,’ about my years in the Caribbean and South pacific and how our dreams can create a better world. It tells my story and will explain why I’m now completely committed to taking action to help island communities save our Mother Ocean. I believe empowering coastal communities & fishing villages can aid in speeding recovery efforts, and thus I’ve refitted our 70-foot wooden schooner to spearhead this project.

Having lived on the sea most if my life, I’m a dedicated witness to all of the changes in our oceans and reefs, impassioned to help Mother Ocean with the skills I have acquired from sailing on her over the years. I have initiated the Cassiopeia Schooner Project to create well-being in island communities around the world, arriving first in the Abacos islands, Bahamas in 2024. Our project will continue beyond our first mission and focus on the economically challenged coastal communities of the Dominican Republic, Carriacou, and the Venezuelan coast. Our mission will eventually build additional wooden schooners in these communities and sail them as fleets to assist in the social and environmental efforts already underway, providing boots-on-the-ground actions, education and awareness programs, and economic assistance.

We will deliver environmental aid to hurricane-ravaged island communities, who are struggling to rebuild because their natural resources are facing environmental destruction. Their sources of income have recently been impacted on multiple fronts. Plastics pollute their coastal waters and beaches. Their coral reefs are dying. Their fishing sites are being over-fished by giant commercial fisheries. Their ocean environment cannot sustain the costs to rebuild without aid. That’s where we come in!

Our project is poised to partner collectively with organizations, using our Mother Ship to deliver humanitarian aid, assist in rehabilitating their ocean environment by planting new corals, cleaning up beaches, and actively protesting the intrusion of commercial over-fishing.

You are an experienced and dedicated philanthropist, encouraged to review our business plan (provided in the links below, and within my website: cassiopeiaschoonerproject.org Please reach out with your feedback about other possibilities or suggestions you might have for this project. I would sincerely be grateful to have a live chat with you.

Thank you for considering our project! I welcome your contributions of money, time, suggestions, networking, and sharing this passionate mission with as many others as possible. I encourage each of you to please reach out to me on social media, and please find a way to get involved. This vision involves helping once-beautiful island communities to reconnect to our life-sustaining oceans and to each other, using our wooden schooner, Cassiopeia II. We’re well on our way, as you will see if you graciously have a look!

Cheers!

Captain Harold Neel

Hi folks! We are a small farm seeking funding to help us expand our infrastructure. We live on our historic homeplace which has been in the family since 1900. Our rural location means that we travel to market our products to the nearest metropolitan area (Atlanta, GA).

We love what we do but it’s a constant struggle to maintain our sales income and pay bills (like so many others). We have worked hard to keep our credit dependence as low as possible but we carry enough debt (mortgage, vehicle financing, backup for expenses) that it’s difficult to get traditional loans.

We have an active customer base and hope to continue our farm business into retirement. If we can raise the funds to add a greenhouse it would make a huge difference for our production capacity. Funding of $10,000 would make this possible.

Thank you for your consideration!
