From — Ok, writing posts like this is hard - but here goes nothing. 🖤

Things have been rough for us since moving to Kentville, but October and November were devastating.

We've tried our absolute best, but we're still having a really difficult time making the ends meet.

We're at a point now where I feel if we do not say something, that by the time we do - it may be too late... and we don't want to become another business that just disappears, leaving everyone asking what happened? Why didn't they ask for help???

So this is us, asking for help.

We know it's super tight for everyone, and that it's only going to get tougher... but if you could help in any way - we'd be eternally grateful.

How can you help?

We try to be more than just a retail shop, we always have. Wherever we've been we try to build community, we try to be there for our community. If you know us, you know what I mean.

We love you all, and @ 5 years in - it's not supposed to be like this. 💔

TLDR: Ametora is in trouble, and needs your help.

P.S. thank you to the extremely talented for this portrait of Alex.
