The Story So Far: Re-emerging and Building Momentum
After years of dedicating everything I had to my marriage and a series of health crises, I am re-emerging and building a new life from the ground up. I've strategically chosen Mendocino County as my home base to launch a venture I'm deeply passionate about: Samuel Holley AI Consulting.
This is a fresh start, and the journey to self-sustainability has a critical gap. I am asking for my community's support to help cover essential costs like rent and food for the next 30-60 days, giving me the stability I need to turn this proven momentum into a thriving local business.
The Plan is Working: Early Success & Community Integration
Securing Local Work
To help pay the bills while I build, I've already secured part-time work at a local farm (Mendo Grass), helping with everything from manual labor to business operations.
Building Client Base
I've already secured two paying AI consulting clients and am actively cultivating relationships with several more potential clients in the region.
Community Integration
From attending local events to volunteering for causes I care about, I'm not just starting a business here—I'm building a life and contributing to the community.
Client Success Story
"I was overwhelmed about what to do for my 20-year-old son with autism. I felt anxious and guilty, like I wasn't doing enough. Samuel didn't just dump resources on me; he showed me how to use AI to make sense of the chaos. We came away with a real, custom solution. Now we have a schedule, we've found local supports, and I feel hopeful again."
— Heidi W., mother and entrepreneur

Quick Questions
Is this tax-deductible?
No, this is a business investment with real services, not a charitable donation.
