Hello, I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart but also with hope. For 18 years, I have dedicated my life to building a business that provides custom domestic designed and manufactured products to the beverage industry. My family and I have poured our hearts, time, and savings into this venture, and for many years, it was a source of pride and a means of providing for our family. However, due to unexpected circumstances beyond our control, our business has temporarily slowed down to the point that this has left us in a difficult financial position, struggling to make ends meet and to provide for our family. The impact has been devastating, not just financially but emotionally as well. We have always been a hard-working family, believing that perseverance and dedication would see us through any challenge. But now, we find ourselves in a situation we never imagined we would be in—asking for help. We are not giving up on our business. We know that with a little help, we can get it back on its feet. The industry demand is still there, our customers have expressed their desire to continue working with us, our products are custom designed and typically it takes 90 days to get paid due to the nature of the business. We design the products, manufacture the products and that can take 2 months, and that is the problem, we have.gaps with our revenue. All our products are made in the USA and outsourced to a number of domestic manufacturers. These businesses too need orders from us to continue and we like to share and partner with other small businesses when we have the work. We need temporary financial support to cover essential expenses like mortgage, utilities, and food for our family while we restructure and revive our business. Any amount you can contribute would go a long way in helping us weather this storm. Your generosity will provide us with the stability we need to focus on rebuilding our business and ensuring its long-term success. We are committed to repaying this kindness by helping others in similar situations once we are back on our feet. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering our plea and for any support you can provide. Your kindness means more than words can express.
