I started as a regular customer shouting out all my small business as I purchased their products! Yes that was me the girl with the @ Mari user name with a million stories of our small business purchases or sales going on.
Expand Small was created with the vision to support all small businesses and Expand!
We introduced ourselves with POP UPs. However we continue to work on other visions as well including giving back to our community!
We can all win TOGETHER!!!

“ Through the blur, I wondered if I was alone or if other parents felt the same way I did - that everything involving our children was painful in some way. The emotions, whether they were joy, sorrow, love or pride, were so deep and sharp that in the end they left you raw, exposed and yes, in pain. The human heart was not designed to beat outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that - a parent's heart bared, beating forever outside its chest. “
The Expand Small family will continue to bring Autism Awareness & Acceptance to our communities.
To those who have stood by our side and joined our efforts we thank each and everyone of you!
