I’m starting a nonprofit in East Saint Louis called NextUP Threads. It will serve the youth and our community by selling quality gently used clothing and shoes at a heavy discounted price. There will be so many opportunities to engage our youth and provide alternatives to spending $200-500 on new name brand items. My goal is to eventually employ youth and create jobs for them to develop.

My goal for NextUP Threads is to raise $5,000 to cover start up costs. ALL GIVING IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
