Hi

My name is Shane, along with my wife Dawn and our best friend Valarie, we started Wallaby's Consignment and Variety Store in April 2012.

Our goal was twofold, one to improve the lives of both of our families by working for ourselves, and secondly to begin to assist our serving and returned warriors. Since we began we have donated on a monthly basis as much as we can to the wounded warrior project. On a side note we have not taken wages since inception.

While we find this to be very rewarding, our main goal in this area is to expand enough to assist on a more local level, by providing our veterans with low cost items that they will need every day.

Our store is located in a small Californian town called Durham, we have survived here since April 2012, but now feel if we are to really help, we need to move to our neighboring town a few miles away called Chico.

Our passion to help our military has roots in the fact that Dawn and I have had three of our children serve in the US Army, all have returned unharmed, and we are so grateful for that.

Valarie has a son who is now enlisting in the US Air Force, and has many family members who have recently served in the US Military.

The money raised would go to helping us get to a larger store, and also diversify our stock, this way we can really begin to fulfill the mission we started out with. Also the funding will assist in the process of filing for a non profit staus, which means we will need to retain an accountant for that purpose.

We feel we owe our warriors a debt, and that there should be no hungry veterans or homeless veterans or veterans who cannot afford furniture or clothing for themselves or their children.
