Help a Single Mom Launch Her Esthetics Dream & Fix Her Car

Hi everyone,

My name is Eleonor Anaís García-Ramos. I’m a licensed esthetician, a passionate healer, and most importantly, a single mom of two beautiful children. I’m reaching out with an open heart, asking for help to take a huge step toward my dream—and to overcome a major setback that’s standing in my way.

I recently secured a booth space to begin offering skincare and wellness services in Lafayette, Indiana. After years of dreaming, going back to school, and earning my esthetics license, I’m finally ready to launch my business. But just as I was preparing to move forward, my car’s engine began to fail. Now all the little savings I had for my business is being redirected to car repairs—and I can’t move forward without reliable transportation or funding for my booth deposit and supplies.

I’m setting a goal to raise $4,500 to help cover:

• My engine repairs so I can get to work and transport my children safely

• The deposit and startup costs for my esthetics booth (equipment, supplies, licensing fees)

I currently live with my mom after being evicted during COVID and haven’t been able to find a home since. I work part-time just to make ends meet and cover household essentials. Everything I’ve been building has been out of pure willpower, patience, and love for my children. I’m doing everything I can, but I can’t do this alone right now.

Support from this fundraiser would not only help me fix my car and get my business off the ground—it would give me the chance to finally build something stable for my kids and step into a future where we thrive, not just survive.

I promise that every dollar will go directly toward my car and business needs. I’m not asking for a handout—I’m asking for a hand up. If you feel moved to share or donate, know that I will forever be grateful. Even the smallest bit of support means the world to me and my family.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Thank you for believing in me. And thank you for helping me move one step closer to creating a better life for my kids and a healing space for my future clients.

With all my heart,

Eleonor Anaís
