Giving them the power back in their lives, and helping them express their emotions at that time. The most difficult part about it however is the lack of resources. It takes a lot of funding to produce a complete piece, from concept to manufacturing, and finally bulk production. Finding ways to fund these ideas and get support from lenders can be tough.”
