I am a mum of 3 beautiful children, one of whom has severe additional needs(autism) we live on a council estate (known for low income families) in hull. I didn't get the best starts in life and have suffered alot of trauma. This has shaped me to become the kind natured (some say too soft) person I am today, who's passionate about helping others who have been in similar or worse situations. At school I studied health and social care, then later got a job in a nursing home. However as my son got older and his needs got worse and I had to leave my job to be a stay at home mum. Also being a single parent/ Co parenting has made it hard to find a job that suits the days I can work (ie no weekend) so I decided to look into setting up my own reseller business from home. I set up in July this year however been on benefits and not having the capital I'm unable to get off the ground which is why I'm hoping for the support and kindness from yourself!
I want to build a company that will not only stabilise my family but help other families too, I am not wanting to climb the ladder to become rich, I just want to be able to care for my family without having to worry especially during the cost of living crisis. Which brings me to the community... I have worked with alot of organisations/ attended fundraisers/ participated in charity events and and I have seen and heard some awful stories of people struggling. So i want to use the business as a way to try take some of those stresses away, yes once the business is set up I could just make a donation but that only works short term. I want to bring people every day products at more affordable prices ( I have already researched and set up some accounts with wholesalers/ suppliers ect) and inject a proportion of profits and or supplies to those in need starting with my local area who require support with food and essentials for homeless/ people struggling with money (see Facebook page for more) can you help me help them? With your funding I can get all the certificates I need/ set up tax, pli, advertising, and most of all enough to buy stock to get the ball rolling. I know my business/ campaign will succeed and make a good turnover I'm just lacking the finances.
