On Thanksgiving Day, 2023, our dog and matriarch of our own tiny dog pack, passed away unexpectedly. Piper was a great dog. She loved our family without thought or expectations, and will be greatly missed. We had her cremated and her ashes are displayed with pride and love in our entryway.
During this time we had been making inlay rings as a hobby. It is a blast and we even were able to sell some of them to buy product to make more. One day I noticed that the powders we use to color the epoxies had a similar consistency as cremation ashes, and an idea was born. I made a Piper ring and as I showed it to people they wanted one made with thier pet's ashes. Pets & Halos was born.
Covid was not kind to our finances, and we need help to get this business from idea to reality. We are working with a web designer to get an e-commerce page set up, and have a system in place to take an order from sending it in to delivery, but we need help with two items. Equipment and inventory. To make the rings commercially we will need a lathe and purchasing the blanks in bulk will help us with a better profit and shorter lead time. The website, equipment, and inventory will total $3965.00.
Investors will be responsible for helping a father and his daughter take an idea to reality. The money will be used to get the website up and running, purchase a lathe, and buy over 100 ring blanks with the epoxies necessary to make those rings. We will send updates quarterly to each investor, and at one year, will begin to return the intial investment back to each with a bonus of 5-10% based on sales.
We can't do this without you. My daughter is learning so much from this idea and trying to get this launched. Some day, as she looks back at her life, you all will be able to be a small part of her success. Thank you in advance for your generosity and believing in our vision.
