Kirk's Business Kickstarter

Dear friends, This fundraiser is for our dear friend Kirk to give him and his dog walking business a boost by helping him purchase and insure a safe vehicle. Kirk, for several years, has worked closely with and learned from his friend Claire, who has a very successful dog walking business. Kirk applied what he learned from Claire to start his own business and has the promise of great growth and success. But in over-regulated and expensive Switzerland, overcoming the financial burden of starting a business is very hard. 

Kirk already has a number of clients lined up, but he is limited on how many he can reach in a day for a few reasons. First, because he only has a scooter, he can only walk one dog at a time for 1-2 hours before he goes to his next client and walks one dog for 1-2 hours. If he can purchase the right vehicle, he can walk several dogs at a time a few times a day, increasing his revenues significantly.  

The scooter in the winter is also dangerous because of snow and ice. He has already had a couple of spills this winter. His scooter also keeps having mechanical problems. This forces him to take public transportation which is slow, expensive and limiting.  

He needs our help because in over-regulated Switzerland loans are hard to obtain. For his financial independence and safety reasons, I'm praying lots of us can each chip in small amounts, which will add up to enough to buy and insure a safe vehicle. The money gifted here will go directly to the car dealership. 

Micro financing is proven successful worldwide when helping small entrepreneurs invest in their business. He has a proven business plan and has the clients lined up. His clients know they can trust him with their four legged family members.  

Kirk has been a good friend to me and to all of us. He has brought each of us tremendous joy. I'm praying we can return his love and friendship by gifting him what we can. Good on ya! : )
