Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

As a creative thinker and engaged consumer, I actively seek out opportunities to identify and address the needs of my community. Whether it's noticing a lack of resources or innovative solutions, I am passionate about finding ways to contribute positively and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those around me.

How do you stay motivated?

Witnessing the profound positive impact my business has on the community fills me with an unwavering sense of motivation. Each heartfelt hug, every sincere compliment, and the emotional tears of those whose lives we have touched serve as powerful reminders of my purpose. These personal connections and stories of transformation energize me, inspiring me to continue my work and strive to make an even greater difference.

What would you do with the $25,000?

We wouldn’t be here without this wonderful community! Therefore, if I win the $25,000, I plan to establish a welcoming, free, outdoor community food kitchen at my shop on Thanksgiving Day 2025. My goal is to provide warm meals, cuddly bunnies, and comforting hugs to those in need, fostering a sense of togetherness within our community. The event will feature festive decorations, music, and traditional dishes, ensuring that everyone feels valued as we celebrate gratitude and generosity.
