Reinerio Zepeda hasn't added a story.
Hello everyone! My name is Reinerio Zepeda, and I want to share with you my inspiring story of perseverance and hope. I am a proud Honduran, a father of two young boys, and currently facing the challenge of unemployment. However, my entrepreneurial spirit drives me to overcome any obstacle that comes my way.
I live in Honduras, a land full of beauty but also challenges like high unemployment and limited opportunities. It pains me to see how many people in my community feel the need to leave our country in search of a better life in the United States. They are exposed to extreme dangers and hardships, and that shouldn't be the only option.
That's why I have embarked on a courageous project: starting a small business selling products on the Amazon marketplace in the United States. My goal is to address the specific problem of the difficulty in earning income through traditional employment in Honduras. If I achieve success in this endeavor, I can inspire others in my community to embark on similar entrepreneurial journeys, providing them with the opportunity to generate their own income right here in Honduras.
The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the challenging situation of unemployment and has also significantly impacted my business. Delivery delays to Amazon warehouses in the United States, lasting for months, have been a serious obstacle on my path. But my determination and passion for creating positive change are unwavering.
Though I face difficulties, I have strengths and skills that support me in this challenge. I am a brave entrepreneur, willing to learn and adapt to changing circumstances. I have acquired knowledge in business management and have a clear vision of how to grow my company. With your support, I can turn this dream into reality and change the lives of my family and, over time, the lives of many others facing similar situations.
In Honduras, unemployment is a discouraging reality, and many people feel hopeless due to the lack of opportunities. Furthermore, migrants in Honduras are paying up to sixteen thousand dollars ($16,000.00) to coyotes for illegal transportation to the United States. This demonstrates the urgent need to generate options within our own country and show that it is possible to thrive right here without having to leave our roots.
Living in Honduras, I have encountered a significant hurdle in securing financing. Local financial institutions only provide funding for projects carried out within the country, which unfortunately restricts my access to financial assistance as my business operates in the United States.
I need your support to grow the company and achieve financial stability. With the funds raised, I plan to acquire products to sell on Amazon USA and cover some fixed expenses. Each investment will translate into a boost for my company, allowing me to increase sales and generate more income. My ultimate goal is to reach monthly gross sales of at least ten thousand dollars, which will not only cover our family expenses but also establish the foundations for a prosperous and sustainable business.
My desire is to demonstrate that Hondurans can create our own opportunities right here without having to leave our country. With your support, we can turn this dream into reality and change not only my life but also the lives of many others facing similar situations.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your invaluable support. Together, we are rewriting history and proving that dreams can be achieved, no matter the challenges we face. Every donation counts and is an investment in a better future for my family, my community, and my country.
Thank you for being an essential part of this journey. Your generosity will be forever remembered and appreciated. Together, we are making a difference.
Thank you for your contribution!
