I'm in Australia, so we went into lockdown very quickly and have been opening up slowly for the past few weeks and I don't think we've been hit as bad as America, but it's still been tough. I work at a pet service (we were allowed to stay open though, which was good especially since many of our clients are health professionals, and dogs still need grooming as the pet groomer you interviewed pointed out), but I'm only on a casual salary. That meant I wasn't unemployed, but still struggled to pay the rent and stuff. I've also been looking for a second job, due to that very reason, but there's no jobs available, and there's definitely people who need a job more. <br />While I believe we did the right thing participating in the lockdown, recovery isn't going to be easy and I believe everyone who can afford it should be helping our local and small businesses out as much as we can.<br />Thanks for this post!Chelsea R.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10191283427892602786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-70303553253642580752020-05-18T20:16:02.019-07:002020-05-18T20:16:02.019-07:00It's so sad and scary.

And the small businesses especially. Hopefully they can get back on their feet.Katrina Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16073677269743106896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-51731597329560345472020-05-14T20:35:47.635-07:002020-05-14T20:35:47.635-07:00It is hard hearing and knowing of others' suff...It is hard hearing and knowing of others' suffering.

It was very interesting (and hard) to hear what actual small business owners have to say and how they are struggling, I really like that you interviewed them. :) <br /><br />www.melodypersonetteauthor.blogspot.com Melody_Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16534479087364510578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-85803852504860774902020-05-10T15:06:08.441-07:002020-05-10T15:06:08.441-07:00Yes, it's a great quote!
