My name is David Kline, and I’m reaching out for your support as I work to turn a dream into a reality—a dream that not only represents a fresh start for me, but also an opportunity to give back and make a positive impact on my community.

For years, I’ve been focused on building a future grounded in hope, hard work, and a deep desire to contribute in meaningful ways. During my time incarcerated, I dedicated myself to personal growth—earning two theology degrees with honors and laying the groundwork for the life I am now building. I’ve worked tirelessly to heal, educate myself, and create a vision for the future—a vision that I’m determined to bring to life.

One of the things that kept me going through it all was my passion for baking. Over the years, I’ve crafted 50 unique cookie recipes that I believe can bring joy to people’s lives. Now, I’m ready to take the next step in my journey: to open a cookie business that will not only provide a product I’m proud of, but also serve as a beacon of redemption, second chances, and the transformative power of perseverance.

The first phase of this dream is to raise funds for a food truck—a mobile kitchen that will allow me to start small, build relationships with my community, and create a sustainable foundation for growth. A food truck offers me the flexibility to reach people directly, offering them not just delicious cookies, but a story of resilience and the possibility of new beginnings.

My mission is simple: to give back. I want to create something that brings people together, brings smiles to faces, and reminds us all that no one is defined by their past, but by the choices they make moving forward.

With your support, I can turn this vision into a reality. Your contribution will not only help launch a business, but also help me fulfill my commitment to making a difference. Together, we can create a future that’s sweeter for everyone.

Thank you for believing in my dream, and for helping me take the steps toward a brighter tomorrow. Your support brings me one step closer to making this vision a reality—and to sharing a little sweetness with the world.
