Flaming Success

In October 2021, Krazy Konkoktions was born, offering a range of captivating and calming candles. With a steady stream of business, the owner and founder, Kimberly Streeter of Lexington, Mississippi, was ready to expand. Unfortunately, she encountered numerous obstacles when seeking financing to build up her inventory. An opportunity arose, however, when she connected with HOPE following an event organized by the Small Business Administration for entrepreneurs in the Mississippi Delta. She qualified for a $25,000 Power of HOPE Delta Loan, a product designed to bridge capital gaps for very small businesses located in the region and with less than $500,000 in annual sales. With the additional resources, Streeter expanded her product line. She looks forward to growing her business, deepening her relationship with HOPE and providing a better life for her daughters.
