Hi everyone!
My name is Crystal Marie and I am a vegan, animal lover extraordinaire with a passion for animal rights! I have had the idea in my head for a while now about starting up my own online store, as a place I can sell my own handmade vegan items/art!
The reason I want to start up a store is because I want to be able to fund my own home run 'animal sanctuary' type thing. I want to be able to provide and care for unwanted/older animals (cats, dogs, rodents). It breaks my heart that there are animals out there that may never find a happy forever home. This is especially true for older animals! I see many ads from people trying to find homes for their older animals. It's so sad!
I just want to be able to give a happy and loving forever home to those who need it! $1500 to start up a online store for my items seems like a lot of money (and it is!) but I want to be able to have enough so I don't have to worry about unseen costs (for instance: if shipping is more than calculated etc). I believe my store will be able to fund this ultimate dream of mine!
Please know that the proceeds from this project are going DIRECTLY to my online store and materials needed to make it a success.
Thank you for reading! <3
