Description
I believe you might like to come and help me.
I am working on a project called "cats and crafts".
I frequently rescue cats, I always have many cats around here, and I try to find new owners for them afterwards.
I want to create a "cats café" so that people can interact with the cats for "good partnerships".
I dream of serving only macrobiotic food and not setting any prices, asking people to leave what they can and want, with the certainty that all the profit will be used exclusively for the cats.
To raise money, I intend above all to find volunteers who make handicrafts, the profits of which would revert entirely to the cats.
These volunteers will have the great advantage of learning various craft techniques, because I like and want to teach and I master many techniques, as I am 69 years old and have been selling handicrafts made by me since I was 12 years old.
Also, because I'm already 69 years old and have some joint problems, I need a little help around the house, taking care of the cats, and tending to my small organic garden.
For now, I urgently need to get my website up and running, photographing items and putting them in the online store.
If you're interested in the project, you really like cats and want to help, you're welcome. -

She took good care of the garden, cleaned and looked after the house, was friendly with my cats...
I wish her all the best and hope to have the pleasure of enjoying her good company again.
Each of them, in their own way, helped me a lot, in many different ways.
