I am raising funds to open High Point Co-op at the Square, a permanent space I founded to bring together myself and other vendors so we can collaborate and offer a variety of items to our community. This dream is deeply personal to me. As a parent, I have spent years thinking about the future for my son, who was diagnosed with autism as a child, and what it would mean for him to have a safe, welcoming place where he is accepted for who he is. I want to build a space that not only supports local vendors, but also creates future job opportunities for my son and for other adults with special needs.

To make this vision a reality, I need help covering the first few months of rent and other startup costs, including utilities and LLC registration. These early expenses are the biggest step in getting established and opening our doors. My hope is that High Point Co-op at the Square will grow into a place where community, creativity, and inclusion come together every day. Any donation, large or small, would mean so much to us and help bring this dream closer to life. We will also be having a grand opening party, and your donation will provide you with a ticket to the event. If the fundraiser goal is not met, I will manually refund any donors who request it. Thank you for supporting me, my son, and this opportunity for so many others.
