Kaitlin (Cutie Fest creator) needs some help

Hey all! My name is Kaitlin Fritz and earlier this year after my job went dramatically down to part time, I started to pour all of my time and energy into making Cutie Fest a permanent part of the Seattle Art Scene. A place for Queer young people to sell their Art for FREE and be supported by a huge and supportive community. Also! they can always also reach out to me to get the supplies they need to make their art projects come true if they can’t afford it.

I am so excited to be able to move forward in fund raising in the next few months for the Non Profit (The Cutie Foundation) so we can have a PERMANENT event/ retail space for Queer Young Folks to sell their art commission free and give them a free library of tools and classes on financial management and marketing for long term success.

All of this being said. I have been seriously struggling personally in a financial way. The dreams of getting the Cutie space is so close but can’t happen if I don’t get out of this little hole first. It’s at first embarrassing to admit how bad things have gotten but I feel safe in my community talking about this. I have turned off home internet, and have been stretching pennies in every way trying to be creative with surviving off of very little but there are a few important bills I really need to pay and I am humbly asking for help for me personally to be able to afford to pay my late rent and bills that are overdue. I really hate asking for people’s support when it comes to me and not Cutie- but it’s become an emergency situation for me and I could really use a little help. Sometimes it takes a village and if my village could help a little right now it would truly be so amazingly helpful. Thank you for even taking the time to read this. And please check out Cutie Fest
