Donation protected
Learning to “reach out for help”…, hence, here I am.
Le PeTiT CiRqUe has tragically lost its facility of 9yrs.
We are destitute and facing bankruptcy.
We hung on all throughout the pandemic by providing entertainment to over 23 businesses their employees and their children, and paid our rent throughout the entire pandemic.
After the pandemic, our rent was raised by $48,000 more per year. We paid that as well.
Suddenly, now, we must be out by December 11.
We are literally out on the streets with nowhere to go and cannot afford a new location at this time.
Never ever ever in my successful 43 years of working with children have I ever faced this. I am embarrassed, but none of this is due to any of our actions.
Le PeTiT CiRqUe is a massive pillar for youths in circus, musical theater, and youth arts community for over 43 years.
We have now made our company into a nonprofit to give out tax receipts for anyone who can try and save this beautiful company.
It has helped raise $6.3 million to help others, and we desperately need help in return now.
We have headlined the Nobel Peace Prize concert in Oslo, Norway, performed for the Dalai Lama, royalty, world leaders, film, television and have flown paralyzed children in our productions.
We have fed the homeless and walked the walk and talked to the talk. ♥️etc.
But most importantly, we have helped launch many incredible human beings. We’re not just about circus tricks.
if you have worked for us, you know that we are humanitarians and follow God‘s faith.
You know we are good people.
If you have had your child in the program with us, you have undoubtedly been touched and are grateful by having your child in LPC.
I do NOT want to pack it in.
I want to keep offering youth a place of shelter in the arts and keep them busy. I want to continue offering productions that inspire….
We are about teaching young people etiquette, respect, and life skills and how to be leaders.
We have presented young artists with 47 medals from The White House as we are a certified company for the Presidential Volunteer Service Awards.
We have helped garner 12 full-ride college scholarships for our artists with all of our humanitarian efforts.
I am Nathalie Yves Gaulthier, I am the owner, and I am facing bankruptcy and financial disaster, and I’m learning to reach out for help, as I have also lost everything in a divorce on top of THIS.
I am mortified and embarrassed, but I will not lose my FAITH , and I refuse to give up ON THESE KIDS AND THE GOODNESS, JOY AND all that WE HAVE BROUGHT TO THE WORLD.
We’re trying to raise money to try and get a truck and some muscle to help us just get our stuff out.
At this point, we can’t even afford a new location, yet , we still have bookings for Le PeTiT because it is such a powerful and. INSPIRING family entertainment business.
We’re just trying to get out of our beloved facility.
Can anyone help? Even $25 would help us.
We are a 501(c)(3) now.
I refuse to give up on this beautiful company. I will not give up on these kids!!!
