Hello my name is Lourdes Arteaga, I’m the proud business owner of Lulu Sweets Berries LLC located in Florida. The reason I’m creating this go fund me is because my education has been ripped away from me unfortunately. Recently I had provided services from my business to 3 individuals whom claimed to be “customers” and had placed orders for money arrangements with large enclosed quantities of money, totaling in almost $10k inside them. Just a couple days ago I have received chargebacks to my business for all these transactions made on their end, unfortunately it is money that has been withdrawn from my account and came out of my savings…it’s left me completely disheartened because it was hard earned money I’ve spent years raising for my education in college that has been stolen from their fraudulent claims. I’m 21 years old and was the first member in my family to graduate college, currently I was attending school for my bachelors degree in Business Administration. Receiving a college degree and being a business owner have been major accomplishments in my life, but I currently don't have the funds to continue attending college after paying out of pocket 10 grand from my savings for the money that had been stolen in the fraudulent chargebacks. I truly appreciate everyone that is willing to help and make this dream a reality to support my education. Graduating means so much to me, but it would mean so much more to me for my families hard work as immigrants see me walk across the stage with my degree. I’m a proud daughter of immigrants who came here with nothing and gave me absolutely everything to see me fly. I cannot express how grateful I am for those whom are willing to help, may God continue to bless you in numerous ways!
