Ask Amy: Struggling business stretched by “asks”

Some of the askers even make a comment that we’re in “this town” so therefore must have the money and means to donate.

Our hope is to keep our store going for a few more years as our business recovers from the pandemic, but I’m also afraid we’re going to lose respect from community members who think we are closefisted and uncharitable.My advice is to craft a simple, honest, and polite written response: “As our business continues to recover after our lengthy closure during the pandemic, we find ourselves unable to donate to your very worthy cause. We hope to see you in the shop very soon.

Remember that the people making these requests likely do not realize that theirs is the fifth “ask” you’ve received this week. A quick, respectful, and definitive “Sorry — we’re stretched tight, so not this year” should send them on their way.I live with my daughter and son-in-law in my own private quarters, which I paid for them to build.I try to give them their space and live independently in my unit, which is attached by a hallway to their two-story house.
