Help Opera Room Survive Covid Shuttering

Donation protected
Sandy here, owner of Opera Room. Not surprising, I'm sure, but I'm now officially struggling. OR is not a very expensive bar to keep compared to some, it's taken some time to get here but the bank account is finally in the negative and the credit card is finally maxed.

Meanwhile, bills keep coming in, rent keeps being due, "the man" keeps not helping the shuttered businesses and people keep getting sick. We've been closed for 7 months today with almost zero relief from government (I received a $1000 forgivable loan).

I'll soon be attempting to run the bar, full service (booze and beer) but at a 4 person, outside capacity (due to current outdoor square footage per patron restrictions). Should be interesting.
I know all will be well, once we can suck back a few 75 cent mugs of beer and huddle again.

Not sure exactly how we will navigate this but confident we will figure out a way, and confident I need financial help to start back up. I'll need to purchase beer to sell. I'll need a few things to keep our regulars safe and to be able to pay next month's bills. 

I'm so sorry to have to ask and incredibly thankful for any donations. My gut and heart appreciate it. 

Love and Masks,

Sandy
