A young lady named Kerri Smith spent two years developing a support pillow for pregnant ladies. After two years of research and 14 prototypes she had the design for the perfect pillow to help expecting moms rest more comfortably. But when Kerri went to set up online sales she discovered that she has to pay $4,460. a year to REGISTER the tags she is required to put on her pillows. She hit a roadblock with her great invention and is not able to market and sell her pillows due to these government regulations (she has to pay those fees every year). Not to be deterred Kerri has set up a fundraiser, if she can raise the required $4,460. by August 15th her company, Belly Rest can proceed and sell these high quality pillows.
Kerri and her friend even made a video which I posted above, it's hilarious!! To read the full story and learn more about Belly Rest pillows go HERE. And for my local readers Kerri is not too far from us in State College, PA and the pillows will be manufactured in Williamsport, PA. If you are a fellow Pennsylvanian you know how many factories have shut down and how many jobs have been lost in recent years, supporting Belly Rest will put money back in to PA!
Sounds like a great way to raise money !
