Although it was almost six years ago, it seems like just yesterday when I met Jayare on the couch of our dorm common room at Trine University. Our first conversation ever we discussed our goals and plans for the future. I told him about how I wanted to be a basketball coach, and be a positive role model and influence on kids from my neighborhood. He told me about his plans to start a clothing line with a goal to help people in need.
I am happy to say not only are we both doing what we talked about over five years later we are also helping each other along the way. I am the the assistant coach at Cincinnati Christian University, and founder of SHA, and he has given away over $25,000 through the sale of T-shirts, and is now re-branding and working to take the new line nationwide. Thanks to cell phones and the internet, we are able to maintain our friendship. We are still able to talk almost daily and are very much involved in each others projects.
The mission of Equange is to make people AWARE of the fixable problems in this world, INSPIRE them to change those problems for the better, and to HELP those who are less fortunate than most. The vision is to CHANGE the world or AWARE + INSPIRE + HELP = CHANGE. This is called the "equation for change."
From the sale of clothing and accessories and promoting the core values of the business Jayare is raising money through Equange to put together kits for underprivileged and homeless Americans. These kits can have anything from blankets and clothes, to toiletries and food. The Equange website has been officially launched and products will be available soon.
