Support Demiya's Dream: Launch Motherly Scents

Hi everyone,

My name is Demiya, and I'm a 20-year-old junior in college, I'm also a full time mother.

I'm now embarking on an exciting new chapter: launching Motherly Scents, a candle company born from my personal journey and designed to connect with other moms. My vision is to create beautiful, hand-poured candles with scents that evoke cherished motherhood milestones – from the tender moments of a newborn to the joyful chaos of toddlerhood, and even the quiet reflections of an empty nest. These aren't just candles; they're warm reminders of shared experiences, created by a mom who truly gets it.

Building Motherly Scents is about more than launching a business—it’s my way of claiming my own path, writing a story of resilience, and showing my daughter that even when support is scarce, job searches drag on, and depression tries to dim the light, we can still fight for the life we deserve. My effort may not be perfect, but every step forward proves that trying—again and again—is its own kind of triumph.

If you can’t give right now, a simple share is priceless. Thank you for considering a place in our story.

With heartfelt gratitude,
