Business Plan
If I don't receive a grant, I will close down the business. If I receive a grant, I will use it to fund expenses for my home office and to bring down the cost of shipping large items such as floral arrangements. I am dedicated to making people feel better as a psychiatric social worker. I am a school social worker trained in individual, group, and family therapy. I was taught at Howard University and Yale University's Child Study Center. I had the pleasure of serving as one of the grief counselors for the Virginia Tech murders. I am dedicated to making people feel better. I have saved countless students and adults by getting them treatment at psychiatric hospitals. That includes brightening their home and work settings with life-like silk floral arrangements. My products make people feel better. I specialize in silk orchid arrangements and am proud of my accomplishments.

Self Identified Competition
Home Goods, Michaels, and Marshalls are my competitors. My products improve the lives of others by adding beautiful nature to dull environments. I aim to please. I design upon request of my customers. They tell me what they want in a floral arrangement, and I create a product. Mothers who have lost children come to me to decorate their children's gravesites—adults with Parkinson's request floral arrangements to add decor to their homes. Adults request floral arrangements to brighten their elders' rooms in nursing homes and senior living areas. I ship to the US Virgin Islands. St. Croix is where I grew up and was inspired by the power of flowers. This is a personalized service that my competitors do not have. There is power in flowers!!!!
