Michael Curtis hasn't added a story.
Hi. My name is Michael Curtis. For the past 17 years, I have devoted myself to teaching ballroom dance. It is a lifestyle industry where strangers become friends and I help those friends to reach their personal goals. With the rapid spread of Coronavirus, my way of making a living has been halted as it is a close proximity service. Studios have been forced to close. I have been left with essential expenses with no immediate help.
Being self employed limits my assistance options, and even with unemployment and the coming assistance check, it still leaves me unable to keep up with expenses for April. I have applied for assistance but most of the assistance projects to arrive in 1 or 2 months, if approved. I need money to cover rent, food, utilities, as well as business expenses to keep necessary subscriptions in order to be able to teach virtually.
I have perks in the form of 30-minute virtual dance lessons. There is options of 1, 5, and 10. These are lessons you can use for you or you and your household. If you just want to donate, you contribute without perks. After hitting Contribute, there is a link to Simply Contribute. Then you can contribute whatever amount you feel you can.
I appreciate you taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for your help in this rough time.
