Help Kathy Recover

I am raising money for my twin sister Kathy. She owns a pilates studio but has not been able to work for the past 4 months due to a prolonged recovery from covid. To make matters worse, New York has excluded the fitness industry from its covid relief plans, and she is struggling to make ends meet. Because New York closed the fitness industry for 8 months in 2020, she lost half of the client base she spent the prior 4 years building. In addition, with the new variants of the virus, her clients have been less likely to attend classes consistently. Since December, she has been trying to apply for a small business loan to help achieve financial stability, but the IRS rejected her submission several times due to issues with the forms she submitted. She finally submitted the application successfully, but she will not hear about the loan for several weeks. The small business loan is the only relief she qualifies for. At this point, she is not sure how she will pay her bills or make it through the rest of the month. She has been working on marketing and restructuring the studio from home, but, again, recovering has made this a slow process. Kathy has been trying to regain her health after coming down with Long Term Covid in December, and the significant loss of income has only caused her more stress, making recovery very challenging. If everyone could pitch in a little bit, it would help her so much.

The biggest donor will receive a certificate for a free tarot reading from Kathy. This is quite the prize! She is very good at what she does.
