We are no strangers to the fact that COVID-19 has impacted all of our lives and businesses across the world–– especially small businesses. We have seen businesses that have had to close their doors as they struggle to transition online. Being aware of how hard COVID-19 has struck individuals’ lives, Kyndra, a small business owner, decided to share the joy of her products through care packages.
She announced her incredibly selfless idea through an Instagram post announcing the idea and encouraging people to fill out the form through which she sends out the care packages.
When I saw this, I knew I wanted to tell her story. I wanted to tell the story of a hero that is not a doctor or even someone on the frontlines, but a hero to every single person receiving a care package from her. I immediately reached out to her and, enthusiastically, she shared much of her story with me.
Kyndra is 22, a MAJOR Taylor Swift fan, and a huge coffee fanatic (woo!). Her passion for self-care advocacy inspired her to open her business about five years ago. Her hand-lettering business was her stress outlet and became her escape into a zone of inspiration and creativity.
Like many of us, Kyndra went to college to try to figure out what she wanted to do with her life. The last semester before she graduated to become a teacher, she realized this was not her calling. Soon enough, she realized she loved making things and decided to turn her passion into a business.
She mentions that “[she] is still narrowing down [her] focus every day, [but her] business is built on inspiring other women to love where they are, but to not be afraid to chase their dreams, like [she] had been for 21 years.”
She got the idea of the care packages from another business who was sending out sample care packages. Having been inspired, she decided to add her own twist and allow people to submit stories of friends and family, so she personalized the boxes based on the person receiving them.
