This Christmas we don’t need more stuff we need more love! I know from personal experience that this year has been a roller coaster all year it’s been up and down, it’s been curvy, it’s been straight meaning it’s been good and bad with everything people have been more cautious of spending, more scared to make bigger purchases even small ones as so many have struggled in so many way especially financially. Our economy has been a little messy his past year with inflation of everything clothes, home goods, food, and more.
So…. This year I am asking all my clients, friends, and family to step up and help me help a few families this holiday season. We do this every year but as most of yall know I have had a rough and crazy year again with my dad and Cancer 😞 I have missed lots of days of work to care for him and be with him thru all the hard cancer stuff and I would do it over and over! I closed my beauty salon almost 12 years ago to care for my grandpa who I worked in the same building with since 2000 as he had his Robertson Tax office in the rear of my beauty salon that was the good ol’ days! I love what he do now and wouldn’t trade it ever but some days are hard being a small business owner. When u are not at work or not able to work you do not make any $$$$ and well this year has been rough especially with the economy crazy due to inflation on everything and people being on fixed incomes, loss of government assistance filks out of work, sickness, ect. Again I’m asking for help to make a few family’s that need the extra help but will never ask for it. They say they are alright but deep down I know the struggle I raised 5 kids 1/2 the time as a single mom and I always said we will be ok because I never liked asking for help even when I needed it most. It’s also not about the $$$ it’s about the feeling I get from helping others and seeing how much they appreciate it and are sooo thankful! I am not a big social media posting person but it the thing to do know sadly because if you don’t post all about it on social media then people like to make up lies and say o you didn’t help them I’m sorry I don’t have to post anything to prove anything!!! I grew up with no internet no cells phones, definitely no social media and I had the best childhood I promise way better than the kids do now because we lived we lived outside, we played outside, we used our imagination, we lived in the world instead of living on a phone!!
With all this I want to ask for talks help if everyone on my page sent in $1 we would be able to help so many this Christmas! I can accept the following you can drop off any nice new or almost new items, $$, Cashapp, donations of the following are what we are in need of.
I also have a few families that are coming weekly to get pet food from us to feed their furbabies so that they can keep them and not have to give up.
Needed: dog and cat food, pet treats, pet beds, blankets, we are also helping a few kids and their families
3 boys ages 5,7,12
3 girls ages 2,9,11
The family could use blankets, movies, snacks, gift cards, groceries, household items, ect.
We are helping a single grandparent who is caring for her 4 grandkids all on her own. Several families with pets we are also helping!
I am in the process of getting our non profit set up for Paws For A Cause so that we can help folks right here in our small town!! Any and all things will be much appreciated!! I will be at the shop Monday,Wednesday,and Thursday this week as my dad has a major surgery scheduled for Tuesday and another on Friday please send up some prayers for us as we go through this journey together again!!! Thanks for supporting our small business and help me help others!
