I need your help to start something new!
Donation protected
Hello all,
I'll dive right into it. My name is Ryan (aka Yieki (Yike-ee)) and I'm a 44yo non-binary person who has multiple severe mental health illnesses and is an AuDHDer (Autism and ADHD).
I have had severe mental health illnesses all my adult life. I have spent time in hospital over those years. In 2006 I was placed on the Disability Support Pension and forgotten about.
Now we are 17 years later, I have decided to start my own business that I've had running through my brain for about 5 years now. Working a 9-5 doesn't help my disabilities.
Being on the DSP makes it very hard to get the funds to get the products I want to sell. I have spent over $5000 of my own money so far.
I have registered my business. I have an Australian Business Number and am registered with ASIC. I have also bought domain names etc. So I'm serious about this.
My business is a retail business with the LGBTQIA+ and disabled people in mind. As I am both. I want to offer top quality products for both these communities. The quality and price they deserve.
I also want to give back to these communities. I have chosen four charities which will receive 40% of the profits.
- LGBTQIA+
- Indigenous LGBTQIA+
- Child LGBTQIA+
- Disability LGBTQIA+
The money raise is going to help me get the first round of lapel pins on my own website. Getting this $2000 will move my plans forward by 6 months.
I am asking for your help. Help me get my business off the ground. If you have gotten to this point you have read what I am trying to do and how I got here to this point.
Many thanks,
Ryan (Yieki)
