To the board and donors,
On behalf of my family, I would like to graciously thank you all for all that you’ve done to help us in these strange new normal times.
I am a small business owner that wanted to follow my state’s recommendation on how to slow the spread, which caused for a office closure for over a month and a half. I was able to work from home but with a limited schedule because now everyone was home myself and kids. I had to do part time daycare and schoolteacher work as well as try and maintain an income.
I went through my savings by July and was in a really tough situation that I wasn’t in prior to this. This grant has taken a huge burden off my back as well as provide me with access to a unique program called evolve which helped me learn a lot more about budgeting. There are other topics they teach regarding finances but I really struggled with budgeting and wanted to address that issue.
Again, thank you all for the help we appreciate it so much!
