Handsome/Seastar Staff Fund
Donation protected
All money donated to this campaign will be distributed equally among our 15 staff members, who we had to lay off this week in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. These folks are our family and yours!
While staff is able to apply for unemployment benefits, these benefits do not fully compensate them for lost income and income from tips that they would have received working for us.
This is an especially hard time for staff who worked part-time for us, and were already living paycheck-to-paycheck. We are seeking immediate funds to help get them through this time of uncertainty.

We've also applied for a #SmallBusinessRelief grant through GoFundMe. The grant is $500. If we are able to acquire the grant, it will go toward our basic costs to keep the business open (utilities, rent, inventory, etc.).
