Despite making some big strides after the loss of nearly all of my support systems and family I am struggling with the debts I was left with in trade for my business, Sunflower and Friends upon my divorce. This business is so full of my heart and is the physical manifestation of a dream career and shop my dad and I had talked about since I was a kid.

The shop is hanging on but to keep operations afloat I have not been able to pay myself in over 4 months and despite feeling terribly uncomfortable asking for help I don’t know where else to turn. My personal resources are drained, I have sold a lot of my personal instruments of value and between running the shop, keeping up with repair work and keeping up with online sales I am struggling to liquidate any more of my personal belongings in this current slow market.

My goals are to pay down some of the debts I personally have been strapped with post-divorce and make sure my beloved dog Arrow and I can pay the bills and afford groceries.
