Supporting a small business dream

Hi, my name is Kimberley and I'm from Cape Town, South Africa.

I started my small business but more so as a hobby at the end 2019 as a creative outlet for me to express my love for all things cruelty-free and organic. I started my range with soap and expanded into candles, wax melts, lip-balm and reed diffusers. I was stocking in 5 small gift shops, most of which have closed since the start of the pandemic.

I was first hit hard by the pandemic, then unforeseen circumstances left me unemployed and more recently, the passing of my mother, which forced me to relocate to a new area. So I am now at the beginning of my journey again.

I'm ready to get back into the swing of things and I really need your help to get started again!

THE WAY FORWARD: I need to build up my supplies again in order for me to start making items again. Once I've got products made I would like to work on expanding and getting my products out there again. I'll be working on expanding my range of scents as well as expanding my product range. I am also working on finding gift shops in my new area.

FUNDS: I will be using the funds that I receive from your support for the following areas:

 What I will be using the funds for will be for and many more items beyond the list I have created below

- packaging 

- Custom stamps and stickers

- Shapes of molds for the soaps 

- Candle vessels 

- Basic materials to get started 

- Business cards (Seed paper business cards, eco-friendly) 

- Boxes and shipping items

- New product materials and molds

- Product photography fees

- Designer fees

- Online store/Website 

and many more things that are needed to get going again and started. 

Every bit helps, I do appreciate anyone considering to help me get this journey and newfound career going.
