Help Our Shop Survive Covid Lockdown #3
Donation protected
This GoFundMe has been up since the 2nd lockdown was foisted upon us. Here we are just a few months later and we are locked down again for what was supposed to be until April 12th and then was revamped to include all of Ontario until April 28th.
This really sucks for us because all of the money we have raised here and from the few weeks we were able to work between lockdowns has been spent on the bills and our rent (which has gone up over $200 because of the TMI (Taxes, Maintenance, and Insurance) for 2021. We have been denied approval for the CEBA Loan of $40K (TD won't give us the exact reason, instead they gave us a list of potential reasons our application was denied) and we are still waiting to see if we qualify for the Rent Subsidy.
Unlike our friends in the restaurant/hospitality and our retail friends, we are left with ZERO options to bring in any income to pay our rent and bills while locked down yet again. We cannot provide take-out or delivery options for tattoos and nails. This leaves us in a very tight spot where we are could be forced to close our doors and then be on the shitty end of a lawsuit for breaking our lease. We don't want to have to lose what we have put almost 5 years of our life into and we know our community doesn't want to lose us either.
Please help us with what you can so that Doug Ford and his inept government won't kill us off like they have so many other small businesses.
