Our daughter Hazel is our miracle- we couldn’t have kids but after getting prayed for we become pregnant and out came Hazel. We wanted to make sure she always has the best options for toys that aren’t leeching chemicals and toxins into her, and since we couldn’t find one on the market we decided to make one. Buckaroo Chew was birthed from there.
How do you stay motivated?I want to build a legacy business for my children, and to be a safe option in teething products for parents around the world.
What would you do with the $25,000?The $25,000 would be huge in expanding our territory. We want to get the proper testing done to get into Australia and other countries. Also we have great conversions we just need to get in front of more people. Having a bigger budget to advertise will really get this company rolling.
