01
Project Guitar Hero
This young person dreamed of writing songs and playing music to friends around a late night fire or even in local venues, but they had a broken, old guitar. They have musical skills and passion, so they persevered. Pepper's MoonBeams provided a new, much nicer guitar, and a case. Now, this young person is able to hear the music come out of the guitar that they previously imagined in their mind. They are writing songs with a friend who shares the same passion with hopes of playing at a venue in the future.
02
Project Custom Tailoring
A young woman had a dream of starting her own customized tailoring service offering a unique service to people wanting highly tailored clothing made from everyday fabrics. She has the talent but was lacking the startup sewing machine and tailoring supplies. A sewing machine was provided and she beginning to launch her business. Stay tuned for future updates as her dream takes shape.
03
Project Tattoo
A young artist was starting up their own tattoo business but needed additional inks and supplies. The grant provided the items which enabled them to take their business to the next level.
