If you know Chris and I, you know we wouldn’t be asking for help unless things were critically bad.

Chris’s hours have been temporarily, but drastically reduced, and my job is ending when the aquarium closes(and we all know the difficulties finding part time employment that will work with my disabilities), and NOW our rent going up significantly-we need a bit of help getting through the next few lean months and unfortunate circumstances.

AND now we have new serious medical issues of mine to deal with that they are trying to diagnose.

We know everyone is struggling, which makes it feel horrible to ask, but we have to-it’s bad.

January through April will be the most crucial and dreaded time that we need help.

Money raised through this gofundme will go directly to power/water bills/rent, as well as essential food and gas for us to get to work etc.

As you know Chris and I are hard workers and responsible/resourceful so if we asking for help it’s critical.

ANY LITTLE BIT, even the cost of a coffee would help.

Chris is helping me keep our house running since stress triggers the worst of my disabilities making everyday tasks even harder, and we are trying to stay positive and strong.

But we're running out of options and running out of money to cover January through April’s expenses now that rent is going up and all these other expenses are coming up too.

We are fly transparent and have no problem with any proof of our current situation and how the money will be used.*

You guys know us, we live simply and so this is a blow that things have gotten so tight with finances and family worry, and right after the holidays. And the hits just keep on coming.

:(

Honestly, we need our people you guys.

Most of you know Chris and I, and you know we have spent all our years here giving and supporting everyone-whenever, wherever, how ever we can-from promoting your local awesome ventures and businesses, to helping local donations spots, sending what little money we can when we're able to those who need it-doing all we can for our locals, local businesses, and all our community that need help.

We humbly ask for our communities help at this time.

Anything you can give would help greatly as well as sharing the gofundme.

I also would gladly give a painting or original photo print of mine as a thank you. It's the least I can do.

If any donors would like one-just let me know.
