Help Tiffanie's Art Gallery Rise Again

After a cataclysmic flood, and two months of construction related closure, I am asking for the support from the community to aid in me getting my business back on track.

This time without a revenue stream put my family and I in a place of economic hardship. While this burden is something I would normally carry quietly on my own, even finding gratitude in the learning opportunities, I am humbled to ask for help in this time of need.

Our insurance was limited and did not cover us for loss of wages and our rent during closure.

I have never felt so stuck between a rock and a hard place. It was only one short year ago that I took all my savings and invested close to $25,000 to create my "big girl dream space," to carry my daughters and I forward after my husband left to start his new life. I had never felt so proud to fill my first Art Gallery with my fine art and beautiful candles. I felt safe against the outside elements after having started the business a couple years prior doing outdoor events such as Farmer's Markets and Art Shows in the community. We now also feature multiple local artists who have also grown to rely on their revenue from the sales of their artwork.

With the funds granted I will recover from the two months of closure, and rebuild our fantastic Gallery Space and Paint Studio.

Resilient and determined I see my business continuing to thrive. Thank you all for any contribution towards allowing my business and family to thrive. Sending so much love and gratitude to all!
