As a brand new company that's fully bootstrapped, we need funds to help us scale.
In order to make the kind of impact we envision, we need to make investments in equipment, staffing, building the brand, and a space.
We believe business can be a vehicle for creating change, and we are committed to making our company a space of healing, restoration, and learning that will transform lives and positively impact our larger community.
We would be humbled and grateful for your partnership in providing donations toward funding our startup costs. All funds will be used toward expenses related to expanding the business, so that we can move toward our vision of creating a company that uses its business to create jobs, training, and mentorship for survivors.

What's HAVYN's Vision?
HAVYN's ultimate goal is to use business as a vehicle of self-sustaining funds to contribute positively toward the community.
Our vision is to create premium home fragrances designed to uplift your spirit, while empowering the societal reentry of survivors of human trafficking.
We will do this by earmarking 10% of every purchase to provide direct support within our own company for job training, mentorship, and living-wage employment opportunities for survivors.

Why Job Creation & Training?
Employment, coaching, and skills training is a big area of need in the rehabilitation of survivors. Our strategic location in San Diego – one of the top ten worst cities for human trafficking – allows us to partner with nonprofits already serving other parts in the continuum of needs for this population. Using the unique skill sets of our team members, we will serve this important step in their societal re-entry process and path to self-sufficiency.
How Will HAVYN Directly Support Survivors?
How we envision doing this is as follows:
- We will create dedicated entry-level jobs that pay a living wage in a supportive company culture and space that’s centered on love, empowerment, and excellence
- We will pair survivors with working professionals within the company for mentorship and coaching
- We will provide regular support groups with a trained coach to help navigate challenges along the way
The ultimate goal is to help survivors develop the skills to thrive in a traditional work environment, empower them to be their own agents in their journeys, and provide a starting point that helps build their resumes.
Why Does HAVYN Need Donations?
As a brand new company that's fully bootstrapped, we need funds to help us scale.
In order to make the kind of impact we envision, we need to make investments in equipment, staffing, building the brand, and a physical space.
The eventual goal is for product sales to provide for all the needs of the business. But every business has startup costs.
In an effort to stay true to our mission and vision, we are seeking funds from individual donors that support our vision rather than traditional capital sources that may have their own goals.
