Mom & Pop Shop Needs Heat

Let me start by saying, we are so  grateful  to have this great little store in Stafford Springs, CT. Asking for help from others is a very difficult thing to do, but you realize at some point in your life you just have to. So here it goes.

We are a small specialty stained glass & handmade gift store in Stafford Springs.  We provide local artists a venue to promote their handmade artwork in our store. We also host monthly Art Shows featuring local Artists and their work. We recently moved to a new location. We love our new location, but currently have no heat in our store.  The building is very old (1860's) and the heating system just can't handle the needs of the building. The best solution we have come up with is to install a pellet stove, the most cost effective solution. We need to raise $4,000 to purchase and install a pellet stove. As a small mom and pop shop only in business for three years, it is very difficult to come up with this money and still keep the business running.  We are hoping we can raise this money so we can provide heat to our customers and students while in our store. We greatly appreciate any support.
