Help Save Ruby & Rust
Donation protected
My name is Taylor and I am reaching out on behalf of a long time friend of mine, Kelly Orme. She has a charming small boutique in our beloved Historic downtown Winter Garden. She’s poured her heart into making this place a gem in our community, but like many local small businesses, she’s facing financial challenges from this past year. The summer was historically slow and efforts to recoup financial deficits are not coming together in time. She is committed to fighting for this dream, her staff, local makers and being able to serve the community. The emotional impact of it all is why I am reaching out. It is hard to ask for help, but at this point, she can no longer do this on her own.
About Ruby & Rust:
A hidden gem offering a curated collection of houseplants, gifts, home and garden, artisanal goods and more. It was founded on the passion for making people feel good and this starts with a warm and inviting space for everyone to feel relaxed and recharged. Kelly mixed her knowledge of horticulture and interior design to inspire others to create their own good vibes space. She also has other small businesses and artisans from our very own community who participate in the dream as well. For four years Kelly has poured her heart and soul into this boutique and her dream doesn’t stop there. She has big plans for the future that far exceed the four walls of Ruby & Rust.
Why we need your support:
We are deeply grateful for any and all contributions! Your support will go directly towards:
-Catching up on the increased operating expenses and repairs (A/C unit)
-Marketing and out reach to help us spread the word to attract customers during these difficult times
-The costs of new growth in order to better serve the community (classes, online educational tools and expanding buying options)
Our promise:
We understand that times are tough everywhere for everyone and any amount you can contribute will be deeply appreciated. So many small businesses have been disappearing just in this last year and we want to do everything we can in order to keep Ruby & Rust a staple of downtown Winter Garden. Together, we can help this shop continue to inspire and support the people of our community.
Other ways you can help:
-share this link

Thank you all for taking the time to read and we hope to see you all soon!
