I’m Aaron, and I’m starting this fundraiser for us after a flood turned my life and my small business upside down. The flood destroyed all of the backstock I had spent a lot of time and money on credit preparing for my business this winter, and with it came the loss of other personal items as well. What happened in such a short amount of time has left me trying to figure out how to recover from damage that feels overwhelming on every level. I never thought I would be in a position where I had to ask the public for help, but this is where I am right now.

The support from this fundraiser will help me cover bills, replace the ruined product that was lost, replace other personal items, and pay for repairs while I wait for my claim to process. Right now, I am maxed out everywhere, and the costs of replacement, repairs, and everyday bills are more than I can manage on my own. I’m asking for help because I do not want to end up in a situation I can’t get out of. If you are able to give, share, or simply keep me in your thoughts, it would mean more than I can say. Your support would help me get through this crisis and take the first steps toward rebuilding.
