My name is Stephanie. I own Sweet Thangz cotton candy in Las Cruces, NM. We are a small family run, home-based business. Recently my family and I have been experiencing financial hardship and health challenges. My family consists of my two teenage children, my mother and my sister. Our business is our main source of income. Unfortunately our commercial cotton candy machine has broken down. Although, we have a smaller, older machine that we can still utilize for small orders, it is not a viable option for mass production limiting our production drastically. Therefore we are unable to vend at local markets, offer live-spinning or fundraising. We are seeking help from our friends, family, customers and community to help us raise money so that we can purchase a replacement commercial cotton candy machine. Thank you.
