Help Liz get her crafty business off the ground

Hi friends! If you dont know me, my name is Liz. Some of you may have seen on my social media recently that I have been hard at work making things and I launched my website for my business, Crystalizzations, this past week. It's one of the many things I needed to do to really get my business off the ground. Having a legitimate online presence is just the start as I am hoping to start selling at local markets too. I am so excited and grateful to be able to have had the time to be able to finally set up my website, but there is a lot more to do.

My employment situation has been touch and go over the last 2 years with taking care of Liv while she was sick and then passing away to trying to figure out what to do with myself after she passed. I spent the last 6 months working as a personal assistant for a friend, but that ended very abruptly last week without warning. I am deeply saddened by this, but I know that the Universe is doing me a favor so that I can really step into my own business and have no distractions.

Here's my predicament. Starting a business costs money that I just don't have.

In order to really launch my business, I need a few different things before I can sell at local markets. I also am not in a position to pick up a side job to replace the personal assistant job to cover bills and other costs because my car is not working at the moment either. This has left me feeling especially trapped and limited in what I can do as well and I need to get that taken care of too.

It is hard for me to ask for help, but if there is anything i know... its that in my time of need in the past, people have rallied around me and have supported me in many ways.

Here is a list of the things I am going to need to do/get in order to reach my full potential as a legitimate small business but first and foremost to just stay afloat for the time being so I can get there...

- state business license

- local city business license

- 10x10 pop-up tent for markets

- tent weights

- proper tables and displays

- Signage (banner) for markets

- fees to sign up for individual events which run anywhere from $30-$150 per event. (Everett Makers Market, Local Farmers Markets, Local Metaphysical markets, etc.)

- New secondary hybrid battery and tires for my car (so I can get to said markets)

- money for bills I have in the meantime

- supplies for handmade items I am selling

- and probably other things I am forgetting

If you are able to help by donating here I would be incredibly grateful. You can also donate via venmo or zelle if you would prefer to do that instead of here.

Another way to support me is to please consider purchasing some of the products I have made and have for sale on my website https://crystalizzations.square.site/ or book an email reading with me there as well. And if you aren't in a position to do either of those things, sharing this would mean so much to me.

If you got this far THANK YOUUU and I love and appreciate you!
