chi's business support fund

my name is chi, and i'm a 19 year old college student who has been finding it difficult financially, like most college students. i run a small business (thegroovycrew.com). i sell art, clothes, stickers, prints, and other kinds of accessories with original art created by me. i use the funds i get from sales to support myself and help my family out on occasion.

recently, my business has been getting more attention than usual, and though i've been profiting, i realized that i may need a little bit of a financial boost in order to get to where i really want to be business-wise. this involves going through more legal processes in order to fully protect my work, and purchasing the tools that will allow me to put out orders more efficiently, all of which are going to cost me quite a bit.

running this business and continuing to put out art on a consistent basis has been keeping me grounded mentally and makes me happy! with all the mental health issues i deal with this is honestly the one thing that allows me to feel like all my problems are gone in the moment. i love creating, and i love sharing my creations with everyone else. all the support i've received over the past few weeks has been overwhelming and i'm more than grateful for it, and it makes me want to put even more into this business than i already have. 

any leftover funds will be put towards textbooks/supplies that are needed for my upcoming fall semester in college.

anything and everything is appreciated,

- chi :-)
