Home business to lead to therapy dog group.

My request is for help with funds for initial business and start up costs. I have the opportunity to train for a business in marketing that I have already fully researched and vetted, deciding this is the business for me. Upon completion of the training I will be able to start the business and work from home.

My new marketing skills will aid me in creating a non-profit therapy dog group. My goal is to raise therapy dogs while working from home, which I would love to take to wherever there is need (hospitals, retirement communities, etc), ultimately creating a neighborhood group who would be able to go out and bring happiness to the community.

Monetary goal is $5000.00 but I will sincerely appreciate any amount I do receive. I am also trying to save on my own as well but the bill to paycheck ratio is so close it is very difficult to save.

I will keep donors up to date on my progress.
