I decided to start Ladyfingers Giving Scoop & Candy Co. because I wanted to build something meaningful—not just for myself, but for my community. I’ve always believed that a business should do more than make money; it should bring people together and give back. In Pueblo, I see a need for more safe, welcoming spaces for families, and more support for schools, youth programs, and those affected by breast cancer. This project is my way of turning that vision into something real.
Ladyfingers Giving Scoop & Candy Co. will be a woman-owned ice cream and candy shop designed to be fun, welcoming, and community-driven. It will offer high-quality treats, but more importantly, it will host fundraising nights, community events, and give a portion of profits back to local schools, youth organizations like the Boys & Girls Club, and breast cancer awareness initiatives. To show appreciation for support, I plan to offer simple rewards such as free scoops, discounts, and special recognition when the shop opens.
I am crowdfunding because starting a business from the ground up requires resources that I cannot do alone. The funds raised will go directly toward equipment, inventory, and preparing a storefront location so I can open my doors. This support will allow me to create jobs, build a positive space for the community, and begin giving back right away.
Most importantly, this project is not just mine—it belongs to everyone who believes in it. My supporters are the reason this dream can become a reality. Every donation, share, and word of encouragement helps build something bigger than a business. You are helping create a place where memories will be made, where people feel welcome, and where the community is supported in a real way. Together, we are building something that gives back.
