Thoughts

How has COVID-19 changed your life?

“COVID-19 has changed my life tremendously in such a short time. In the past few months the Governor ordered all non-essential businesses to shut down to prevent the spread of the Corona virus. I’m a beauty salon owner, haircare specialist, and an international photographer. This pandemic wedged a holt into my finances and has changed my family’s lives as well. Though we understand health is more important and the stay at home order set in place was necessary to avoid the spread of the virus, we also look for answers to how we will be able to pay bills that aren’t being abated. With our daily living being put on hold this has been quite challenging to meet the requirements of our landlords, with homeschooling our children, and wearing mask. Despite all of this, we remain to stay safe.”

What has your City/County done well?

“Offer some immediate grants for non-essential small businesses and employees. To push for rent that’s due to be abated or deferred.”

What can your City/County do better?

“I pray that this pandemic ends and for life to be normal again.”
