Saving a small bar

Donation protected

Good evening all,


I'm doing this to help someone very close to my heart who's out of options to save the bar she owns, which would subsequently upend her entire life if she were to lose it. I don't want that to happen, so here I am.


context:

The woman in question is Carla Toboada Ivelisse Rivera, a 32 year old bar owner in Puerto Rico, and someone I care about immensely.

although she owns the bar, she doesn't own the building leasing her the space for her bar. The building owner has no interest in maintaining the building anymore, so it's now on her to pay the fines and fees to the government in order to stay in business. They're demanding 4k by the 24th of June, and then another 4k by the end of June.


Neither she nor I have that kind of money. So I'm counting on all of you to help me save her business.


as to why I'm doing this in her stead, its because unfortunately she's too prideful to ask for help. fortunately, I'm not. so please, if you can, help me help her. I refuse to sit by while her life falls apart.
