Location:
Edens Landing, Queensland, Australia
Occupation:
Mum and Small Business Owner
I loan because:
Someone gave me a loan to get started and while I haven't paid it all back yet, I still want to give to others. I also believe that we are called to give and so I'm just answering that call in small ways. Maybe one day I can answer it in larger ways.
About me:
First and foremost, I am a wife and a mother. My son is 3 yrs old and my daughter is 8 months old and they take up a lot of my time :). I love it. In the last few months I have started importing scrapbook and crafting supplies from China and the USA to Australia. I sell them on ebay and at local markets. My hope is to help pay off our mortgage and enable our family to give more to others. I love having this small business on the side. I'm doing something that I think benefits others - directly or indirectly.
