After returning to the country in Los Angeles, California, the administration of local veterans wanted to know if he loved the job or had a special hobby to help him deal with his post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. But his therapeutic therapy eventually became a business. Mr. Moore blends organic food ingredients such as coconut kucho with essential oils and makes soaps using glycerin base, without using any perfume. She now enjoys making soaps only from natural, organic ingredients. However, after 17 years of military service, it was not easy for Moore to return to Los Angeles to lead a civilian life. He also served in the military, including in war-torn Iraq and Afghanistan, and later suffered from PTSD.
Retired from the military, Maxwell Moore, founder of Maxwell’s soap company, said that when he returned, he was advised that his hand should be engaged in something that would keep him busy and that his hand would be treated. He then told them that he loved making soap and started doing this. After that he became very busy in this work and his hobby was making soap and at the same time its sales increased a lot.
Maxwell Moore said, “When I went to work in Virginia, a homeless man came up to me and said, ‘Can you give me some money? And I said I don’t have money, but I have a hobby, I make soap – do you want some soap? And then the guy says – “Yeah, I want some soap!” Then Moore starts giving away some of his soap for free for the homeless. He says, “Don’t get me wrong, I love money myself. But if you make money and live with people around you who are poor, sick, who can’t take care of themselves – you will get sick yourself, and then all the money in the world will seem meaningless to you. ”
Mr. Moore employs other military retirees in his organization, and helps women who are raising their children alone to become financially self-sufficient by employing them in the soap company. He added: “I was truly inspired by the service and sacrifice of my comrades in war. I feel that all these people are dead and unfortunately they will never be able to return home and have any effect on the people, but I feel that I am indebted to them and I want to do something for them. ”
Stanley, a Los Angeles homeless man who received a bar of soap from Moore during the epidemic, said: “I have no sanitizer. I try to wash and keep my hands clean. ”
Mr. Moore is well aware that the problem of homelessness in Los Angeles is not easy to solve, but he loves to start small, help keep people clean and healthy, and believes that success will come in the future.
