<div>Hi, everyone! We don't usually ask for help, and it took a lot for us to finally do so...but we're being pushed to a difficult point. Due to an investor pulling out last minute, our start-up small business racked up personal debt on credit cards of nearly $20K, resulting in a denial for a business loan to offset the gap in working capital and start-up costs. We were denied our business loan ($28K) that would have carried us through the first 3-6 months of operations while we spread the word about our unique and brand new learning model. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At this point, we've exhausted the virtually nonexistent start-up small business resources from the state and federal levels. We are a family-owned business that is just trying to bring more accessible and impactful learning experiences to kiddos, or what we call them, "Oddballs." We have until <strong>November 1, 2025 </strong>to pay our bills or we must close our shop for good.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We've been blessed to be selected by the only local law clinic for assistance in filing for nonprofit status, but this process typically takes 3-6 months at best, plus time to raise funds from donors. We don't want to stop a good thing short and we are asking for any financial help or support as we try to get this dream launched into reality.
</div>
<div>Your donation goes towards solving a problem that affects everyone. Our educational courses are wrapped as science activities, but embedded in each lesson are critical thinking, social-emotional, and leadership development skills that <em>everyone</em> needs to navigate this complex world. Help support an OKC-metro education start-up that is engaging to all students, intentional in design, and deeply invested in iterating a new way to learn.
