Many of us have been friends and clients of Willa's for 20+ years. She has been a staple in my and many friends' lives to make them feel pampered and beautiful and is just a kind soul.

As you know Willa has not been able to work since the first day of our March shutdown. She is heading into her sixth month of no work, no income. She was also denied a PPP loan which we do not understand at all?

Her landlord has given her no break on the rent and she is expected to pay in full in perpetuity. With our local Covid numbers still looking terrible, it could be many months before Willa can get back to work. 

I know we would all be heartbroken to see Willa lose her business. We are seeing so much of that right now. Small family-run businesses are really feeling the impact of the shutdowns and are not able to withstand months of no income. My hope is we can step up and help Willa through this hard time.  It would be amazing to help her cover at least six months of rent if not the whole year.

None of us want her to stress during this time and it would be great to give her some cushion.

She needs to be able to relax and not worry now with the hope she will be back in business soon to an incredible group of women (men & teenagers) that she brings together and cares for. It will be hard to retain her business just on the margins of her products, so I hope you all will donate something - every little bit will help.
