Help keep the magic of Utopia Haus alive!

We are reaching out to you today on behalf of Utopia Haus Party Rentals, a family-owned business that has brought joy and magical moments to countless families and friends.

Unfortunately, Utopia Haus recently fell victim to fraudulent activity that has threatened the livelihood of their business.

In April, Utopia Haus was preparing for a grand event for a new client who introduced himself as a grieving father who had just lost his wife. Utopia Haus owner Ashley went above and beyond to service this kind client, even assisting with payment to the catering company that couldn't accept credit card payments at the time.

However, the day before the event, Ashley learned that her client was in fact not a grieving father, and had used Utopia Haus to run a small business focused payment scam. As a result, all transactions from the client were flagged as fraud, and Utopia Haus had been debited with $11k in chargebacks from their business account. Not only did Utopia Haus lose the time and money spent on the event, but they are now learning that they are being held responsible for paying back the credit card used to book the services.

Utopia Haus is a small business that has been hit hard by this fraudulent activity. As a family-owned business, they take pride in creating magical moments for families and friends to celebrate life's special moments. It's heartbreaking to see them struggle due to helping someone they thought really needed it most.

That's why we are asking for your help. We've started this GoFundMe campaign to help Utopia Haus recover from this devastating loss. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. Your support will help Utopia Haus continue to create magical moments for families and friends to celebrate life's special moments.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and they are the faces of our own community members. By donating to Utopia Haus Party Rentals, you are not only supporting a small business but also supporting a family.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we appreciate any support you can give.
