For weeks.
The last 6 months have been really hard for us. And, right now, they've led to where we are now.
We are officially homeless. That's not to say that we're living on the streets. Galen and I are staying at my mother-in-law's house, and Joe has stayed with a few friends. Our only problem right now is that I start school Tuesday. If I don't go, I don't get my financial aide. If I don't get that...well, we have nowhere. And I am at least a 20 minute drive from the nearest bus stop, with no car.
I would like to think the fiasco this past April wasn't as big of a player as it was, but...I lost $1000 right off the bat. When our income is $1200 per month, that's one month behind. Not to mention refunding roughly $750 in orders, and sending $300 worth of replacements. And we've never really caught up.
At this point, I don't know what to do. So, right now, I'm asking for help.
But, not without the prospect of giving back.
I have yarn. I have hooks. I can still offer something.
So, here's the deal. I am going to work today on updating my store. Everything will be 25% off, still with free shipping.
Please, if you can't help, pass this post on to someone who can. If you would like to donate, without buying, you can send via paypal to jenicrafts@gmail.com. I will probably still send you thank you presents.
I don't ask for me. I'm asking for him.
*edit*
I have made a coupon code, which saves me time, and lets me get to making things that have been ordered today. Win-win ;)
on Big Cartel and StoreEnvy, the coupon code is GALEN and you get 25% off.
