Hey everyone. This is an update and quick thank you (to be updated in the morning.).

As of right now we have met our immediate needs and that combine with a loan from a friend of BC will go a long way to some of us getting some needed sleep.

We aren’t 100% out of danger but we will likely be ok and have a better idea of what the immediate dilutive for BC looks like.

There have been an awful lot of begging letters going out of late, and the most recent ones, I have to say, are solely my fault.

Through a comedy of errors, that are 100% not comical and just errors, I held on to a rental car (backed by a company card) for much longer than I should have. When everything was said and done, while they were regularly taking money out of the account, at the end/closing of the rental, a new charge hit that was for all we had already paid plus more, and it sent us deeply negative.

We have been paying money out of personal accounts and using the money everyone has donated recently to pay our most pressing bills directly from PayPal, but we are on the brink of not being able to recover at this point.

We currently (at time of posting) have about $800 in PayPal and Erin’s personal account is overdrawn now as well. We will be able to cover for a few more days, but I wanted to let you all know what’s going on and that it was my fault everything is completely upside down. To add insult to injury, I’m not even able to make it to the box right now to check for physical checks as my vehicle is still out of order.

I don’t want to go into deep details, but I want to warn about one thing. We have options to get out of this, and walk away scot-free, but the agreement to do so would be the end of BigCloset and all associated businesses and properties as part of the deal.

Right now, I’m not sure BigCloset has ever been any closer to closing forever than it is right now. This community has seen us through a lot including when I was about to be homeless as nearly everyone I cared for died around me, the birth of our NinjaPotato and more. If you have anything to give, please do. If you have been waiting for the right moment to act like a white knight, now’s the time. We desperately need your help and this is affecting everyone’s health around here.

I will admit that for the first time in this whole ordeal I finally had a moment where I broke down and cried. I’ve been playing phone tag with the rental company trying to figure shit out and Erin is headed shortly to the bank to see what she can figure out there, but right now, we are still fucked.

P.S. The caution tags are because sometimes money can be a hard topic for some.
