Hello Friends and family of City Hikes Dog Walking & Pet Sitting. As many of you may know I have been attempting to raise money in order to expand and grow my small business. I must admit that asking for help is not easy for me. I grew up believing in sayings like “never let ‘em see you sweat” or “always look like a winner.” It is saying like these that erase my very vulnerable humanity and can give the illusion of not needing help. I really need to level with you. The truth of the matter is that my small business is not sustainable as is. When I started this business five years ago I was walking 12 and 14 hours a day. My ankles were really taking a beating. Walking on top of running the office and accounting part of the business was really starting to talk its toll on me. I knew in order to continue I would need to hire walkers. I am very pleased to say that I have been able to hire and train some really great pet loving people. I really love the work I do and the people I work with. Now I have traded 12-14 hour days for working 7 days a week for months on end with no off days. In order to keep City Hikes alive and reach the next level I am in need of help. The cost of doing business increases every year and unfortunately, I do not have access to resources other small businesses that are larger than mine have. I do not qualify for most small business loans, angel investors or even have family that I can lean on in this way. This is why I am reaching out to my community for help. I really do need help to keep my dream alive and thriving. An ad campaign will provide more income and shift my life. Working 12-14-hour day or seven days a week with no days off for months on end is just not sustainable. Most businesses fail within the first five years because of the very challenges I am facing now. I am not just trying to get to the next level. I am attempting to survive the five-year threshold and thrive. Please donate and share my campaign today. https://www.gofundme.com/marketing-budget
