<div>We all know that Kintimit throws the best parties, has the most incredible inventory and is a truly magical place to be. The struggle has never been to make Kintimit a successful company; the struggle has been to re-open after the unfortunate relocation. As a one-woman show it’s proven to be an uphill struggle, wearing stilettos, with one heel broken and the other is missing a strap!!! 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>People are literally knocking on the door to host their events at Kintimit. I just need to make it over the hurdle that my bereavement absence caused. Overall, cleanup of the property, merchandising, organizing and then operating. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kintimit has never struggled; it’s Lucia that has been through the wringer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After moving into the current location in July ‘23, the Grand Opening was scheduled for October ‘24; however, unexpectedly and blessedly I spent all of September ‘24 caring for my sweet father through the end of his life. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then, in January ‘24, Uncle Dave decided to join Dad in the afterlife. They truly were soulmates, Dale and Dave “The Twins”, my folks, the genuine men who raised me. I never realized how unique of an upbringing I was lucky to have, until I started to talk about it. Blessed to be raised by those men and we were incredibly close. I’ve always been so close to my father, as were so many other of my friends.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My Uncles sudden death caused me an incredible amount of work, traveling back and forth to Iowa alone to clean out their rental house.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once I returned to Cincinnati to “get back to work,” it all proved to be harder than I could have ever imagined. Working alone is a huge challenge, probably the biggest challenge, because every day there’s nothing to distract me from the reality of grief. Basically I’ve been two months behind on everything since a little while before dad passed and I’ve never been able to catch up. Not financially, physically, emotionally; I’ve been stunted. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I risk losing Kintimit and everything inside the building (the lease is aggressive and states that if they evict me, they possess all items to help recoup their losses).</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been robbing Peter to pay Paul for far too long, I am exhausted &amp; beat up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I still audit, have been door dashing and working as hard as I can to get through this. My biggest struggle is my bandwidth. The grief robbed me of that. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>entrepreneurship require long work days  to start and all last year, I’d be lucky to have four hours of energy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My goal is to get through the rest of the dark winter and have a stupendous grand opening in April. I just have to make it that far. I need some personal peace of mind, financial security and a few days off. That’s a trifecta which has been absent in my life for far too long. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is where I’m looking for help, additional funds to help me maintain the general overhead of the shop while I continue to wrap the cleanup will make a world of difference. Being caught up on some bills etc, would take such a load off my shoulders. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After a friend recommended making this GoFundMe, I realized it’s important to lay my pride to the side and ask for help through this unprecedented year I’ve had.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last thing, please remember Kintimit is not just about costume rental &amp; design. It is about throwing on-site costume parties year-round. It’s a million-dollar concept with a comprehensive business plan. Think about it, there’s a birthday in every city every day of the year!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I did ultimately create Kintimit to franchise. What I need more than 30 bucks from everyone I know is an angel investor to start the next big franchise with me. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance for anything and just thanks for being part of my life. Regardless of what the future holds, we are all really lucky to know one another.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Siempre Viva La Kintimit!
</div>
<div>Love,
</div>
<div>LuLu
</div>
