A Little Help Getting Back on My Feet

Brooklyn, NY
Photo for: A Little Help Getting Back on My Feet

I’m a self-employed chef and small business owner who has spent the last 10 years building a business around my passion for food, hospitality, and bringing people together

Being self-employed comes with its challenges, and lately, business has been slower and less consistent than I’ve experienced in the past. Like many small business owners, I’ve continued to put everything I can into keeping my business going, sometimes prioritizing business expenses, staff, and clients over my own financial needs

Unfortunately, I’ve fallen behind on some personal bills, and despite my efforts to catch up, it’s been difficult to get ahead

I’m not looking for someone to fund my lifestyle or my business. I’m simply hoping for a little breathing room to get caught up on essential expenses while I continue working to rebuild financial stability

As someone who is usually on the giving end, asking for help doesn’t come naturally. But I’ve learned that sometimes even the hardest working people need a helping hand.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, would make a meaningful difference and be sincerely appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and considering helping me through this season

$1300 for rent

My husband, who is a mechanic, recently was injured coaching our daughter’s softball team and tore his shoulder muscle hitting balls to the girls. He has been unable to work and will not be able to return for 2 more week…
