Business closing need support for employees

Donation protected
Hi everyone! I am writing this go fund me as myself, Julianne for my business and my employees.
 
As most of you know I recently went into business with 2 partners to open Better Together drink cart. We are located at Shady Pines all vegan food cart pod. However we were just notified that Shady Pines will be closing December 3rd, leaving our employees and our businesses displaced. I have been working very hard over the past 48 hours to located a new location for our truck but a lot of the pods do not have space for upwards of 2 months or more.
 
I have never dreamed of becoming a food cart business owner but I have recently realized that I do really enjoy the community aspect of food industry work. I have also found that I am actually pretty good at businesses management and what my true dream is, would be having something of my own that I can share with others. I am incredibly traumatized by what has transpired at Shady Pines, we have been greatly taken advantage of and left in the dark. I do not want to let go of my business and just give up, which brings me to this...
 
I am hoping that people far and wide in our lovely vegan community or supporters of small businesses will donate to this go fund me. I would like to have something to offer my employees as they will be left without this income temporarily until we are able to get going somewhere else.
 
Thank you all for the support over the past few months and just know we will be back soon with new menu items and a new location. We love you all, truly!
