Support Jasmine's Dream And Help Her Fix Her Market Vehicle

My name is Jasmine Barkley, owner of Big Poppa Plantery. My business is my world right now. I am trying so hard to get it off the ground and I felt I was reaching success this year, as I finally got into two stores as a vendor and was signed up for 5 markets total. I felt the love from my community and was honored to be the go-to plant person for customers who wanted to buy beautiful, healthy, and well cared for plants.

But now I’m at a standstill. The vehicle I use for transporting my farmers market supplies and plants has broken down and repairs could cost up to $3,000. I work 65 hours a week; 40 for the plant business and 25 at a local gas station to earn extra income in order to fix the vehicle as soon as possible. Every day I pray to God to give me a miracle so I can continue to do what I love and today I thought that maybe I’ll achieve that miracle by making a fundraiser. I’ve had endless support from my community. I’ve been truly blessed by the people around me and by every customer that trusts me enough to sell them a worthy plant. And now I am asking that community to help me with something monumental that would change my life for the better.

If you could please help me with even a small donation, it would mean absolutely everything. I have endless gratitude for those who believe in me enough to help me through such a difficult time. I do not take this help lightly so if you feel called to help a struggling young person who's just trying to achieve the American dream while also selling plants that I believe bring joy and happiness to everyone who receives them, then please help. Anything and everything matters.

Thank you for reading. And thank you for taking the time to listen to my simple request. I am grateful for even your thoughts of hope. Whatever you decide to do, just know that I appreciate any kind of support- even just your kind words. I hope I leave you with some positivity by saying that everyone needs a little help here and there, and reaching out for it is never a bad thing. We’re all just trying our best and I hope you feel your best enough. It always is.

Have a blessed day!!
