We need help! As many of you know, we moved to Mexico to open a shop in Puerto Vallarta. Nothing about the move or the business has gone according to plan, and although we are waiting on an investor for the store, we have used all of our resources.

We are working some small contract jobs online, trying to make ends meet while paying rent on our residence, the commercial space, and still paying the mortgage on our home in Houston that we were unable to sell. There are renters in it, but they are not covering the cost of the mortgage. We have been responsible with our resources, but the unexpected expenses and delays with the move have drained us dry.

This is humbling, and we are doing what we can, but the bottom line is, we can’t do it without help. If you have a few bucks to spare, we would be forever grateful. Coming home would mean we would have to abandon the possessions we have and return home with nothing but the clothes that fit in the car. I hate asking for help, but we need it. I’m scared for our future here.
