Help Rowena Support Her Dedicated College Employee

Hello, my name is Rowena Lindsey, and I’m the proud owner of The Patch Ladie, a small business that creates custom patches, t-shirts, and hats. What started in 2014 as a weekend venture at a local flea market has grown into something special. During the pandemic, we moved into a studio space in an art gallery, and just this past spring, we opened our very own retail shop in Park Forest.

It has been an incredible journey, but as any small business owner will tell you, it hasn’t been without its challenges. Right now, I’m reaching out for help to support someone who means so much to our little team: my part-time employee. She’s a college student, a hardworking and dedicated individual who has truly become an essential part of The Patch Ladie. She brings so much energy and passion to our shop, and I want to continue supporting her through her studies and beyond.

However, times are tough, and I need help to ensure she stays on staff. I’ve set a goal of $25,000, which after fees and taxes, will help cover her wages and allow us to keep going strong. Your support—whether through a donation or simply sharing our story—would mean the world to both of us.

Thank you so much for your generosity and for helping us continue this journey!

With gratitude,

Rowena Lindsey
