From my notebook:

  • Cindy Bobe, Neighbor: "Hi, my name is Cindy Bobe. I am a single mom trying her best to start her own business from home. I have an adult daughter with autism, and it has been hard for me to find a job, so I decided to start my own company. The name of our company is SpeakLove and it’s about spreading love, hope and unity through positive messaging. I started making shirts at home, but I would appreciate some free help to get to the next stage." (Patch)
