Fundraiser by L'Moor
As a small business in Ontario, the pandemic has forced us (and many, many others) to meet and overcome multiple challenges over the last 2 years - an understatement, really.
Now, with the current natural disaster in BC, we are met with yet another challenge related to supply chain. Our core brand of products (Moor Spa professional skin and body care for spas and estheticians) are made in BC, and we have a really important order that is ready for pickup.
The reality is, we simply cannot get that order on a truck, a train, or an airplane, given the floods and mudslides in the region. We have exhausted every avenue over the last week, feeling more disheartened every day.
We are facing the loss of the bulk of our holiday sales. The resultant risk to the 3 families who depend on our business for a paycheque, and to our network of business owners who rely on the income from sales of these products of their busiest retail month of the year is growing. There is one option left, and we’re going to take it.We are flying to Vancouver from Kitchener, renting a vehicle, and driving our order back across Canada to get these products into our warehouse and shipped to our clients, so they can make their holiday sales.It seems that Santa’s sleigh is stuck, and we’re going to help. In addition to the effects on supply chain, we want to acknowledge that communities across B.C. continue to suffer the impact of severe weather. The British Columbia SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is providing those who are stranded or who had to evacuate without time to prepare with food, crates and other pet supplies as needed.
Please donate.
We welcome you to follow along as we cross the country, and your involvement in this adventure, as it progresses, will offer us the encouragement we need to help us be a role model for other small business owners who face similar challenges every day.
