Hi, my name is Patricia Alleyne, and I am a single mother. My reason for this fundraiser is to help me gain independence and a better livelihood. My daily life has been difficult, and opening this business will help my son and I to live a normal life. This money will be used to take my small popup and online soap business to a brick-and-mortar store. The money will be used to buy materials and ingredients needed to make products and for rent. This business have been in existence for about 4yrs.
