Help our business stay open! mutts-n-bones

Donation protected
Mutts-n-Bones has been a small business since 2011 but we might have to close our doors if we can't get the money to keep the business up and running. 

A little backstory:
I have always run the business from my home but my family had to make some serious sacrifices this past year after my husband was unemployed for 2 years. After finally finding a good paying job, they asked my husband to relocate 300 miles away. We thought long & hard, finally deciding that the move would have to happen because we couldn't afford to have him be unemployed again. 
-We have unsuccessfully tried to sell our house to cover moving expenses and find a new place to buy or rent so we had to settle with moving to an apartment in the meantime. In doing so, my business has no where to go. 

Although I am a small business, I am quickly growing and can't run my business from my apartment. There is not enough space and the new engraver we are leasing doesn't fit so I've had to resort to looking for an small office. I have found an affordable office space to rent but they are asking for a huge deposit upfront to install a 220v outlet for my engraver, electrical power deposit, first months rent and rental deposit, that unfortunately I don't have enough to cover. PLEASE HELP ME! I have never asked for hand me outs but after being denied a business loan, a personal loan due to debts we took on while my husband was unemployed, I have no where else to turn. Both our parents are retired and have given us money to help wit the move and the apartment but have no more to give. 

The business has helped put food on the table for my family, keep a roof over our heads, was our only source of income for almost 2 years and bring fashion to thousands of dogs around the world. It is my baby and it brings me tears to think that I might have to close it after working so hard to grow and be profitable.
