My name is Shannon. I don’t know were to even start. I’m 51 years old and I would do anything for my family. For the last year and a half I had been working 65 to 70 hours a week on night shift and working about 24 hours a week at a little convenience store. I have been missing out on being with my only granddaughter that just turned 2 in May. My son is a single father so I have been helping him along with keeping up with everything here at my house. I started my own online website back in November of 2024 and it was slow going. Out of nowhere in June my sales went through the roof!! You would think that’s great, you would be wrong. The sales went up so fast and so high , I can’t cover the cost of the products I sell. I have built this website and put my whole heart into it. I am now at risk of loosing it all. This was supposed to be my retirement plan and it would be something to leave my family when I pass. I tried getting a small business loan but, I am already on bankruptcy. Being raised by 2 Vietnam Vets, I was told you never give up, never quit and above all carry yourself with respect and honor. I have been trying so hard to live by that. I feel like I am disrespecting their values by even asking for help. If I can possibly get $2,000 donated, I want to give back to our Military. My website already has a Loyalty Rewards Program to help people be able to save money when they shop from my store. I know this is not life threatening, and I know there are people out there that need the help much more that I do. But if I could just get a little help I give my word that it will be used for a good purpose. Hope you find it in your hearts to help me.
