Cindy's Dream
Donation protected
We all have dreams and we all go through hard times. When you see a dear friend struggle, you want to help them. Even more so when it is someone who gives so much of herself time after time to her family, her friends and the community around them. I've watched her donate her time, skills and so much more to so many. Now it is time to give back to someone who gives so much. Let me introduce you to my dear friend, Cindy and here is her story.
Hello, my name is Cindy Miller and 10 years ago I discovered my true dream job, to help people by being a massage therapist. After years in the industry, I am looking to open my own business called "Duir Massage and Wellness – Your Gateway to Health and Happiness".
My dream is to open my own healing center that will have massage therapists (of course!), Reiki practitioners, nutritionists, acupuncturist, herbalism, and aromatherapy, just to name a few. I’m starting small with a one-room office where I can offer services I specialize in such as massage, Reiki, and aromatherapy. In the future, I plan on building my healing center slowly by offering smaller scale events highlighting different modalities, or the different aspects of healing, until I have the infrastructure to support a larger space.
Beyond my background and training as a massage therapist, I additionally have a degree in Accounting from Mankato State University. I have several years of experience in the bookkeeping profession, as well as consulting for small businesses and new companies, and setting up and maintaining accounting systems, including expense tracking. While maintaining my bookkeeping clientele through a separate business, I have also doubled my personal massage business in the last year. Now, I am looking to expand by moving into my own space.
My goal is to raise $8,000 for startup costs: the down payment for my new office, money to cover the business formation fees, some money for office furniture in the new space, money for additional advertising about the new location and to attract additional clients, as well as a little safety capital to carry me through the transition.
Please consider giving whatever you can to my compassisonate, big-hearted friend. Thank you so much for your support.
