Helping a small business pay its fees

Prior to the pandemic I had started my small business as a solution to a problem I had. I had been working in high pressure jobs my entire life and my doctor had told me I needed to step back and start taking care of myself. I began my adventure on this venture of creating all natural bath and body care and was quite successful at it. But then the pandemic hit and everything shut down. I had made my living by selling my products at local farmers and artisan markets. Fast forward through those dark years and here I am again with my business. But I've partnered up with a friend who is helping me with production and we have expanded to include crystals and other products.

We have the demand for our product. We have the invites to all the crystal and gem shows as well as the comic conventions because we found an awesome niche where we supply nerdy crystals and nerdy bath and body products with crystals on them. What we are finding is that we are struggling with coming up with enough capital currently to pay the fees for these shows that we have been invited to and to get enough ingredients to make our bath and body products. Coming out of holiday season - during an economic crash - and entering into what we call "the dead season" with demand for our product not reducing, but sales from the holiday markets not at what they usually were; we find we are short on cash.

Any and all donations will go towards paying the fees - so that we can be at our shows to make more money to make more product - and ingredients to make our product.

We would love to continue the expansion of our business. We just need a helping hand currently from those that believe in us.

All support that we receive would mean the world to us. Being small business owners is difficult at the best of times. We have managed to survive some rough times. Even when everyone was telling us to quit and move on. We kept pushing forward. We appreciate every dollar given and make it stretch as much as possible. And we appreciate every ounce of support that we get from you. Its people like you that keep the small businesses running. Without you there is no us.
