What started as a fun family trip quickly became something much bigger.

My grandchildren, Ameyah and Joshua, visited the Slime Museum in Chicago and absolutely fell in love with the creativity, science, and endless possibilities of slime. On the drive home, they couldn't stop talking about making their own slime and sharing it with other kids.

Instead of letting it remain just another childhood idea, I decided to help them chase their dream. This dream means even more because Ameyah and Joshua lost their dad (my youngest son) in 2020. More than anything, they want to build something that would make their daddy proud and honor his memory.

So, I sat down with them, and together we researched what it takes to start a business. We created a business plan, formed an LLC, opened a business bank account, created our signature slimes and began building our website. That's how Haze Craze Slime was born.

My goal isn't just to help them sell slime. I want to teach Ameyah and Joshua lessons that will last a lifetime—hard work, responsibility, creativity, customer service, financial literacy, and what it means to build something from the ground up.

We're raising funds to help launch Haze Craze Slime with the supplies and equipment needed to get started, including:

Every donation, no matter the size, helps move these young entrepreneurs one step closer to their dream.

If you're unable to donate, sharing my fundraiser with your family and friends means just as much.

Thank you for believing in two kids with big dreams. Your support is helping them learn that with hard work, determination, and a community that believes in them, anything is possible.

Every great dream starts with someone who believes. Thank you for believing in theirs.
