When you open your own business you work hard to ensure you can handle life's "little emergencies" that sometimes arise, and if you had asked me 4 years ago what the scariest thing would possibly be to me, I would have said a broken hand or a broken arm. I never would have imagined that my dream of doing nothing more than what I love could be shattered by a virus, but that is exactly what I am facing. I closed my studio on March 7th to do my part of the social distancing order. That order has now been extended to April 30th. So being closed for 2 months is causing me to face the real possibility of not being able to reopen. I am so grateful to Go Fund Me and to Yelp for partnering in the hopes of offering small businesses a little breathing room. So I ask you to consider not only donating to my business but to any other establishment that you frequent. Please do your best to stay healthy.
