Artesanía Mundo De Queen
Impact: “Before I opened the physical location of the shop, what I was able to sell was pretty minimal. This grant really helped me expand my inventory. Before, I wasn’t able to support myself or my family very well with the business – now I’m making more and can better support my family. We are confident that the business will continue to grow, and my daughters are also interested in the business and proud of me. And I’m proud of myself too! We are now hoping to go on vacation one day!” -Reyna Navarro; Owner
