Hi, my name is Melanie Adams and I am fundraising for my small business Sage Spade.

We provide our customers with a unique shopping experience that includes one-of-a-kind houseplants, locally crafted home goods, and a variety of sustainable products that help reduce waste and benefit the planet. Additionally, we donate 10% of our profits to impactful charitable organizations fighting against climate change and strive to give back to our community as much as possible. Our hope is to inspire, educate, and make it easy for individuals to adopt a sustainable lifestyle.

We have been operating as a mobile shop selling our goods at events, farmers markets and pop ups. Although we've only been in business for a little over a year, our small but mighty business has seen tremendous success in this short period of time. We have received resounding feedback from our customers saying they want us to open a permanent location so we can provide additional products and services they can shop year-round.

Until now, we have bootstrapped this business through personal investments and the profits from our booth. Unfortunately, this isn't enough to open our first brick and mortar store on our own.

All the money generated from this fundraiser will go towards renting a space and purchasing our first round of inventory.

I humbly ask for donations of any size to help us make this dream of expanding our small business a reality. If you are unable to donate please consider sharing our gofundme link to help us reach more people.

I am truly grateful for your support, thank you!

Mel
