Help Black Owned Business Start Up
Hi, my name is Jenelle and I am the Founder and CEO of Shop-BOB. (aka Black Owned Businesses)
I originally created Shop-BOB in 2016 as a blog to help promote my friends businesses for FREE. For years I supported Businesses online showcasing their goods and services. To me, supporting my friends online was just a hobby but recently I suffered with an extreme illness and I had to spend some time in the hospital and almost lost my battle due to complications.
I had a moment that I think everyone has had at our lowest point, when we pray to GOD and say "Lord, if you get me through THIS I will use my life to serve". While in the ICU, I spent this time reflecting on how I can truly help and support others in need. I wanted to do MORE! I decided to revamp the idea of what Shop-BOB was into a digital fundraising platform that not only helps BOB's grow but can also fund nonprofits that services OUR community.
How much I want to raise:
I hope to raise $20,000 to build a digital platform that allows BOB's to sell merchandise and a portion from the sales will be given directly to nonprofits to fulfill their mission. This is part of the first seed round of fundraising for this start up.
What will your donations go to:
Money raised here will go towards rebuilding the current website into a marketplace that allows businesses to sell their goods and services to help fund nonprofits.
I have already incorporated Shop-BOB, Inc and trademarked the name but I need your help to complete the vision.
Thank you in advance for your support! By helping Shop-BOB you will be helping to create a space for many nonprofits and charities to receive funding to continue their mission, as well as, BOB's increasing sales to new consumers.
Lets build BOB's together!
