NamaSTAY Fundraiser

Life can be unpredictable, and it's certainly been that way for us lately!

We recently had a surprising bump in rent for March due to a misjudgment in snow removal costs for 2022 by the property management company. We were just as surprised as you! But thanks to the success of our NamaSTAY Warm fundraiser last month, we tackled this unexpected expense. However, we know that our journey is far from over, and we're doubling back on our fundraising efforts to keep going. It feels as if every time we step forward, something pulls us two steps back.

But here's the thing: we're not giving up!

We're doubling down on our efforts to keep our business afloat and continue serving our community. We're holding an online auction featuring local artisans and businesses on April 21st-23rd to help raise funds and persevere.

We know many small businesses like ours have struggled since the pandemic hit. It's been a tough road for all of us; small businesses are the backbone of our neighbourhood and have been struck by the pandemic. With the government expecting us to repay their initial "help" in just two years plus 5%, we know it's a tough road ahead. We fear this will impact not only our independent business, but others across Canada and the families and communities that depend on them.

But, We believe in our community and know that together, we can weather this storm!

That's why we're asking for your continued support. We know times are tough for everyone, but we urge you to consider shopping local and supporting your independent retailers. Shopping at local small businesses like ours is a way to invest in your community's economy and support the livelihoods of your neighbours, friends, and family members who work at these businesses.

As a small business, we can offer a higher level of service and are more conscientious about your needs. We know that small businesses are the lifeblood of every community. We've sacrificed countless hours away from our families to provide the best service and offerings possible. It's a labour of love, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

But now, we need your HELP! If you want to see your favourite local businesses like ours continue to thrive, please consider shopping local by buying gift certificates, sharing our business with friends and on social media, and supporting us in any way you can. We believe in the power of community and know that together, we can weather this storm and appreciate your support more than you know.

To all the small business owners out there, we see you, and we support you!

YOU CAN MAKE A Difference! Thank you for being a part of our community.

With grit and gratitude,
Jenine - Founder
