Congratulations on your launch, Kate! And what a wonderful way to allow others to join in your celebration!

For me, the Holy Spirit gave me a mission to build a home for semi-independent young adults on the autism spectrum - a HUGE challenge for someone who struggles to make ends meet. Nonetheless, I am stepping out in obedience and prayer! I have set up a fundraiser on Ko-fi to raise the startup costs so I can file for nonprofit status and start fundraising for the building costs. The fundraiser can be found at:

People can straight up donate, offer a monthly offering, or purchase things I've created to get this nonprofit launched. Thanks again for this opportunity to share!

Statement species looks like a great idea come to life! I like the fact that you are aiming for transparency in sourcing the products. Such a tough balance these days! I try to never buy goods made in China, though sometimes that's impossible.

It is SO hard! In this case, it was my only option for being compliant with garment tag laws in the US and ensuring it was printed and shipped from the US on demand to avoid wasted inventory. Small businesses and startups really have their hands tied!
