Fundraiser #34 has Launched!!

We have 2 fundraisers that are finishing up today, so Chrystal's fundaiser for Maria is the next in line. Here is what Chrystal would like you to know about Maria:

Maria is 7 years old and lives with her parents and 8 year old brother. Her mother is a homemaker and her father is unemployed. He recently lost his job and is desperate to look for work. CI did such a great job sending me detailed information on an Income Generating Project. They broke everything down on an Excel grid on the items they will sell and the profit they would make. The family provided us with a list of items they think would sell easily. The total cost would be $500. I will provide the $150 since the limit for this fundraiser is $350.00. The items Maria’s family will sell are hangers, jars, containers, baskets, dish racks, trash cans, etc. They would sell these items to their neighbors by visiting them, and would also set a small table at the entrance of their home to display some of their products.

Therefore, if they sell all the products the prices they have established, they would earn $745.85 within two months. By selling everything in two months, they would have recovered the initial investment, and would have gained a net profit of $195.30, or approximately $98.00 per month. The family would use this amount to cover their basic needs, and would use the other $500 to reinvest in the business.

This business is very well-thought-out, and should be a big help to the family. If you would like to help Maria's family start their new business and bring income into their household, you can find her fundraiser here: http://www.firstgiving.com/igpformaria
