In lieu of birthday gifts and celebrations I am endeavoring to raise funds for Awakenings Pole Fitness in New Orleans. Like many small businesses right now, we are struggling to pay our rents, overhead, and help our instructors (many who are out of work without pay). 

  The government SBA loans would just put us in more debt than we were already in so we are trying to avoid borrowing money from them if we don't have to. 

All donations will be split up between the two studio locations and the instructors who are in need of aid. We are so thankful to have an amazing community of students and teachers and fans who have already donated or sent words of encouragement! We love you and hope to be able to reopen soon! 

Every little bit helps! But please do not feel pressured to donate if you are in a tough situation as well! Take care of yourselves!!
