Start-up money for Tad's Tasty Treats Store

Donation protected
In June of this year I started a baking business with my 27 year old severely autistic son Tad.  He is learning to bake and he started by creating Whoopie Pies to sell at our local Farmer's Market.  The idea is to open a business that will apprentice and then hire special people like Tad.  We sold out nearly every week we went and just last week were inundated with orders for Thanksgiving.  I've worked tirelessly, without pay to get this started.  We are to a point where the next step is to have a real store.  Because those helping me (the White House, Local Congressman, etc) showed me the best bet for me to train these friends without gov't rules tying my hands, is to make the business a "for profit".  In order to secure the funding I need I have to have working capital so I'm reaching out to you, dear people to contribute to my work.  I have no other source of income at this point and we can't handle the business I know we can get without a real bakery and staff! If you know me you know how difficult it is for me to admit I need help, but I'm so committed to making a career for my son and his friends that I am reaching out to you!  Please give if you can, and share everywhere across the world!  Helping get Tad's Tasty Treats going is the first step towards assisting communities across the country to put special people to work in careers they're dreaming of having!  The gov't rules on this are choking agencies who want to train people.  We want to bypass their regulations which means we can't get any of their grants.  We are the grassroots start of this project and it's taken off bigger than I could have imagined!  You can see Tad's work and our progress at our facebook page Tad's Tasty Treats.  We need to funding before the end of the year to take us to a storefront before Valentine's Day.  We already have 1 wholesale customer starting with us in January, 2020.  Tad and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing our campaign with everyone you know!  These are NOT lazy people!  They want to work so badly...they want to get up with a sense of purpose and be proud of their work!  Won't you please help?  Merry Christmas Everyone!
