Help Kayla Save Covell!!

Hi,

My name is Julianna, and I am writing this because someone dear to me, Kayla Miller, is facing an incredibly tough time with her business, Covell Floral Studio & Gift Boutique. Kayla has poured her heart and soul into this venture, and it breaks my heart to see her going through such hardships.

These past few months have been an absolute rollercoaster for Kayla. She's been subjected to unfair treatment, and bullying, from her landlord. Other downtown businesses have stooped so low as to call and report Kayla to the health department with false accusations. And that's not all. They've shamelessly copied her innovative business ideas and even reported her small, professional sign—a simple means she was using to attract customers. The city authorities actually forced her to remove it, can you believe that?

But that's not all. Kayla's landlord has taken things to a whole new level. He frequently entered Covell, making false accusations and recording conversations on his phone. The toxic atmosphere has left Kayla and her employees feeling scared and harassed. It got so bad that Kayla felt the need to seek legal counsel, just to protect herself and her employees during their interactions.

To add to her struggles, Kayla invested heavily in remodeling, painting, and designing Covell, based on verbal permission from her landlord. Being the trusting soul she is, Kayla did not secure anything in writing, but her trust was exploited and now she finds herself in a vulnerable position. Suddenly, last Friday, she received a notice demanding she vacate the property within 10 days. Can you imagine? They expect her to uproot her entire business, including all the amazing vendors she supports, without any alternative or backup plan. It's beyond cruel!

What makes it worse is that tenants have very limited rights in such situations. Kayla's lawyer had devastating news—she still has no idea why she's being accused of violating her lease. It seems like they're trying to push her out without any valid reason. It's as if her landlords or other businesses downtown have a personal vendetta against her.

Kayla has given everything she has to Covell. Financially, it hasn't been easy, and she has depleted all her resources. But Covell is more than just a business. It has become a pillar of our community, supporting other small businesses like mine, Julianna's Baking. Through Covell, Kayla has brought beauty, joy, culture, and upscale gifts to our town. And the bakery treats and drink menu are simply amazing! Not to mention the breathtaking bouquets and floral arrangements that bring smiles to everyone's faces.

Kayla's resilience and determination inspire me, and I hope they inspire you too. Now, it's time for us to rally together and show Kayla, her family, and her vendors that they are not alone. Covell deserves to thrive, and we can make that happen. We have the power to help them navigate this uncertain period of closure, find a new location, and reopen—better and stronger than ever before!

That's why we've launched a GoFundMe fundraiser. The funds will be used to aid in legal fees, cover relocation costs, and hopefully re-open Covell in a new location. I humbly ask each and every one of you to contribute what you can and spread the word like wildfire. Let's harness the incredible strength of our community to give Covell the support it deserves. Together, we can ensure that Kayla, her family, and her vendors have the resources they need to weather this storm and find a new place to call home.

It's heartbreaking and unjust to see Kayla, who has invested her heart and soul into her business and the community, being pushed out in such a cruel manner.

Let's be the community that stands up against injustice and adversity. Let's show Kayla that she has an army of friends and customers who believe in her and the incredible work she does. Together, we can make a difference, restore hope, and bring Covell back to life.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your compassion, generosity, and support. Let's light up Kayla's world with our love and make Covell shine brighter than ever before!
