On that path comes a tough decision to ask for funds so she can make the preschool hers.

“The owners have been really good to me,” Moseley said today.

But as they decide to scale back their operations, they want Moseley to take over the license. “I want to,” she said, “It's been a dream of mine. It's just a sudden thing I wasn't prepared for.”

Moseley has until August 1 to come up with $5,000 to take over the lease of the preschool located on Clearfield Drive.

A GoFundMe page has been set up by her daughter and as of today $1,625 has been raised in four days.

If she can raise the $5,000, the day-to-day operating expenses will come from enrollment from there on out. “It was tough for me to ask for help. If I had to be a salesman, I would never charge.”

Moseley came to the Gingerbread House last year after the story of how she and the children at her home preschool raised funds through a lemonade stand to buy a water slide. “This year I've learned a million things. There are a lot of rules and regulations. They want me to take over the lease on August 1. I think we can do it. People are asking me where to send the checks to.”

Under Moseley's leadership, the preschool has a waiting list of 50 children and is at full staff.

Even if she can only get part of the funding from GoFundMe, she will try to come up with the rest. She is also not trying to rely on the funding website alone to raise the money. Her husband is planning a plate dinner sale and there is yard sale in the works to help the cause. “We're going to work for this.”

Moseley is humbled by the money raised thus far. “This community has always come together. There's really good people who live here.”

The GoFundMe campaign is not to line her pockets, she said, but to get the initial funds to take over the preschool. “It's not going to get me rich. It's a small school. It's not going to make me millions. It's a passion. I've been blessed with an awesome opportunity.”
