Hi, my name is Monica Benavides I am fundraising to help me start my small business again. I am active duty and I am crafty so I hope to create wood work to sell. My family would really appreciate your help. The money would go towards a Machine I am trying to buy but I don’t have enough money for the down payment for it. I hope you know how much this would mean to me and my family as I get ready to exit the Marine Corps after 10 years. I plan to have a veteran owned Business one day. Thank you for your time.

**UPDATE!**

 I got my machine and have started to work on my business. It’s been a pleasure to receive all the donations and I hope to hear from all of you and have type support in the future. Please feel free to contact me via Instagram for any recommendations or awesome ideas.
