Cindy founded Kupanda Sisters, which “partners with international organizations to find sustainable programs that can teach children how to read.”

“With DoorDash, there's just great flexibility. I can dash when I want, I make my own schedule,” Cindy explains.
“So the extra money that I've made from DoorDash actually kept the doors open.”
