My name is Shelby, and I am the owner of a wax salon in a high-rise office building that was recently evacuated and shut down due to serious structural integrity issues and the risk of collapse. Overnight, my entire business was locked away—every piece of equipment, tool, salon furniture, and decoration is trapped inside, and I have no access to any of it. The uncertainty is overwhelming, as I have no answers about when, or if, I’ll be able to retrieve my things or return to my salon. My income depends entirely on being able to serve my clients, and this sudden closure has left me without a way to earn a living.

I am reaching out for help because I need support to recoup the income I’ve lost and to replace the essential equipment and supplies that are now inaccessible. Additionally, I am facing the loss of my security deposit as I work to set up shop at a temporary location, which adds another financial strain during this already difficult time. Your support will help me rebuild my business, continue serving my clients, and regain some stability while I navigate this unexpected crisis.

If you are able to help, I would be deeply grateful for your support. Every contribution will make a real difference as I work to get back on my feet and rebuild what was lost. Thank you for reading my story and for considering a donation to help me through this uncertain chapter.
