Dreaming of helping Hawaii's youth

Nominee: Devin D.

Aloha, my name is Lindsay and I live on Maui with my boyfriend.  We are both from here and recently have been having a very hard time due to the economy.  My boyfriend Devin is a very hard and dedicated worker; unfortunately he works construction, which is completely on hold in the state of Hawaii.  He can’t find work anywhere.  He recently had a great idea to start a local clothing company.  He signed up for and completed a small business start up class, where he learned all the fundamentals of running his own company.  The loan manager loved the idea but due to lack of income we were un-eligible to receive a loan to get the company going.  The clothing company is going to be a great help to the community, Devin will offer sponsorships to up and coming athletes in the state to help get them get noticed and hopefully help their careers progress.  Devin has worked hard, wants to help the community, and has a big dream.  This money would go to help get the clothing line produced and be able to sponsor up and coming athletes that excel in their sports but who also need some financial help get their equipment and to get themselves noticed.  We would be able to help them enter contests, cover their enrollment fees, and submit their photos to bigger companies, schools, and magazines.  He has a big dream and I know he will succeed; he just needs some help getting started.  Starting this clothing company will be a huge help the youth in our community.  Thank you for your time and support.  Much Aloha, Lindsay
