I’m raising funds for my online retail business, Sky Brundall Concepts. I’m currently unemployed and living with my parents. After years of applying for jobs at retail stores, theaters, and other places without success, I decided to build my own path toward financial stability through online retail.

Over time, I expanded this business into five separate stores, including a Shopify store, and rebranded them under Sky Brundall Concepts. I also hired freelancers to help with marketing and improvements for my Shopify store. Getting my first order was an exciting step forward. Still, it also revealed a major challenge: my vendor, Printful, requires upfront payment to manufacture and ship products before I can fulfill customer orders.

Right now, the biggest need is covering those upfront manufacturing costs for incoming orders through my flagship Shopify store. Ongoing support would also help me continue paying my current marketing freelancers and work with new creative designers from around the world to develop unique and entertaining products for my stores. Because these business costs continue over time, recurring donations would give me more predictable support as new orders come in and as I keep building the business. One-time donations would also make a real difference and are deeply appreciated.

For the past two and a half months, payment issues tied to hiring my latest freelance marketer have made it harder for me to plan for my future. I’m hoping this fundraiser will help me avoid further financial setbacks and keep moving toward my larger goal of sharing my original content and characters with the world as I work to build a media company.

If you’re able to give, thank you in advance for supporting me and this next step for Sky Brundall Concepts. Every donation or share helps me keep fulfilling orders, supporting the freelancers who are helping me grow, and continuing to build something I have worked hard to create.
