I usually write these in the third person but this one is all about me!
I’m the founder of and am reluctantly doing a video to explain what’s going on. Apologies for the lack of captions, I’m very tired and too many things have started to give. Below is a sort of summary.
Due to a number of factors, rent was late and after a number of discussions the property manger decided that an eviction notice was the way to go. I started the week after the notice, surrendering and had decided to throw it in. THEN we had an amazing 2 weeks! Consisting of a number of projects/ideas coming together, appearing on a puff piece on channel 7 AND we were the highest scoring on the Greening our business assessment! Lots of beautiful people found us for the first time, some through the .crocodillo scavenger hunt, which was a LOT of fun! Then at the end of the week, Veronica of found us last Friday and now we are in the monkey business!
So after realising that the message was not ‘give up’ but ‘get help from the community that loves this place’.
I went through many emotions, and still am, as each gesture/kind word/donation comes in, I’m crying happy tears. Resulting in realising, that for the Dragonfly to be a community hub, the community needed to be a part of what Dragonfly is.
So we are having a massive bunch of fundraising things (as seen on socials) please support us in any way you can. We know things are really tough for many people and we appreciate anything that can be given, even if it’s just sharing the information. Finally, if there is a small business that you know and love go and spend with them, as they may not be around if we don’t support them.
Oh, and the response from our community has been overwhelmingly beautiful! Thank you!! 💕
