Relief Fund for Passionate Pigment

Donation protected
I never thought we would have to close our doors within the first year of opening but now we are faced with a perilous situation: Due to Covid-19 and the fact that we are closed to the public, we are running out of cash to pay our rent, utilities, liabilities, and make sure we have enough cash on-hand to re-open once we make it through.

We are asking for your immediate support. William and I have some emergency life savings and will use it to make sure this store keeps going, but the road ahead looks bleak and uncertain, and unless there are major changes both locally and nationwide, our fear is it will not be enough. The loans I've seen currently proposed by state and federal governments are not an option for us, as it simply does not make financial sense for us to take out a loan without any indication we can re-open soon or generate meaningful income to pay them off. So, like so many small business owners who are facing similar situations, we are using this fundraising campaign as an additional effort to support the store.

Funds given to this campaign will help us weather this storm and make sure we can ultimately reach our goal, which is to keep this business afloat and exist near downtown Kingsland for many years to come. Even once this passes, we are unsure what the market will look like when we can re-open, what the paint and furniture buying abilities of our community will be, and how we can quickly ramp up our operations once again. This campaign will help support Passionate Pigment both in the immediate and over the next several months, and longer.

If you can give any amount, we are truly grateful. If not, there are other ways to support us and other small businesses facing perilous situations, such as signing up for emails and social media accounts, buying gift cards, ordering items online from their websites, and lending a kind word.

Thank you for this past year. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives. When William and I first opened this store, we imagined a lively furniture, art  and home decor store, a store where our community could come together and create beautiful art and allow us to repurpose and bring new life to their current outdated furniture.

And, despite it all, we have faith that this dream will come true once again. #SmallBusinessRelief
