Canterbury

Hello. first of all: Thanks for your attention, and if you decide to help in my cause, thank you so much for your support. I hope the below can explain a bit about my situation and my purpose.

I have a long a complicated story. I was adopted as a baby, my birth name is Sarah powers, My adopted name was Alexa, I was unfortunate in my youth and went through some very tough situations. I am now 33, a mother of 5, and I have come to give a little to ask for help in getting a home business off the ground.

As a mother I have a drive to help guide and teach the younger generation, one of my ultimate goals is to be successful in business and use my success to help and guide underprivileged kids caught in bad situations, through art, self expression and life coaching.

I am an artist by passion, and this has helped me cope with those bad times immensely.

I am here to raise fund to get my home business off the ground, with the ultimate goal of being in a fanatical situation to start a non-profit organisation to help children from underprivileged backgrounds.

I want to help these kids express themselves through art/positive self expression in a safe space. and mentor them to achieve their goals and to boost their self esteem and encourage them to follow their dreams. Helping them to learn how to apply themselves to benefit themselves and those around them positively.

Being from this kind of background myself, I understand the importance of this kind of support. and how life changing it can be. how much I wish there was something like that for me when i was a youth.

I have recently been offered an opportunity, in the self development industry, to start a home business offering life changing courses and media to people of all ages, with self help and development content through a company called Prosperity of life.

I feel this opportunity is my gate way to being able to take steps to starting my non profit organization in the future.

I am a hard worker and a empathic person. I have a small art business already based at home, and this helps to supports my family, but I am in need support to cover the start up costs of my new business with Prosperity of Life, needing $5000 NZD.

I believe I will succeed, I have the drive and the passion. But ultimately, I want to succeed so I can be in a position to help others, of all ages and backgrounds; I hope that through this opportunity I can make the world a better place then what it was when I found it... even if I can just help one person, to me, its worth it.

I strive to be the apart of the positive change, we want to see in this world.

I thank you again for your time.

Sincerely

Sarah Powers, Mother; Artist; Entrepreneur.

what will I do with these funds  20 April 2021

Posted by: Alexa Barker

these funds will go into setting myself up as a distributor and network marketer with Prosperity of Life,. I run my own version of it from my home office selling their personal development products and services.

These costs are for set up, registration as one of their marketers, as well as things like web site domains, products to offer clients, advertising forums and tools, and client record software to help me run the business, as well as my training costs by a mentor from within the company. Product, marketing and distribution training to qualify to be able to run the home business successfully.

I am in the process of taking a course they offer to clients, prosperity of life's, mind power 7day boot camps and I have found it absolutely life changing.

I have tried other self help programmes before and never had such a profound effect in such a short time.

I know that if I can get the funds together to start this business that these products can have a significant positive effect on the lives of my future clients.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
