Help Support Karen Whyte (Owner of Urban Whyte)

Hello friends! My name is Karen Whyte and many of you know me as the owner of Urban Whyte in Devon, Alberta. I need your help keeping my creative small business going after a serious medical issue has forced me to be hospitalized this spring. I recently spent 4 weeks at the U0fA Hospital in Edmonton as an in-patient and now will be continuing treatment as an out-patient for the next several weeks.

For almost 10 years, I have had my small business and have never faced a situation like this that has caused me to close my doors for an extended period of time. I currently need help raising funds to cover my fixed business expenses with the store (such as the lease payment & utilities) as well as covering my personal living & medical expenses until I can fully re-open again.

Your help would be greatly appreciated and I am hoping that you will be willing to help with a small donation that will allow me to take the time I need to recuperate and not be stressed about being able to reopen my doors once I am recovered. If possible, I am also hoping to have some additional funds to help me hire/train an assistant who will be able to help take the pressure off me while I am recovering.
