Although a lot of big businesses were supported by the Small Business Administration during the pandemic, small businesses have been left to fend for themselves. One of such businesses is Arlene&rsquo;s Home Store.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Arlene&#8217;s Home Store is a small furniture and mattress store located in Houston, Texas owned by Arlene Parris and has been able to provide cost-friendly furniture and mattresses to their customers for the past 8 years, while delivering outstanding products and services. The store has had the opportunity to mark a glorious history in their community as they continue to develop stronger relationships with their loyal customers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a case similar to many businesses affected by the pandemic, traffic of customers to Arlene&rsquo;s Store have been slow which meant closing the door on customers for a few months as the paying of rent and bills became a burden that was too much to bear. An alternative plan of building a new e-commerce store did not go as planned as sales were weak and funds were also required to attract customers to the new online site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Application for grants and programs were flushed down the drain as they were being denied on superfluous reasons such as an &ldquo;excessively low credit score&rdquo; and a false claim of owing child support when Arlene has no children. The administrative hindrances pushed the owner to seek the help of three Texas State Representatives offices for assistance- a decision that proved to be a complete waste of time. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As it stands, Arlene Home Store is in dire need of contributions that will go toward paying a backlog of monthly business expenses totaling $25,000 through the Go Fund Me account created for that purpose. Beyond the resuscitation of this store, the contributions will go a long way to help the community and to ultimately change lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more information, please visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/save-arlenes-home-store\">www.gofundme.com\/f\/save-arlenes-home-store<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/gofundme.com_90551.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Arlene\u2019s Home Store<\/a><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Arlene Parris<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=arlenes-home-store-is-calling-for-urgent-financial-help-to-cushion-the-harsh-effects-of-the-pandemic-on-a-oncethriving-business\" rel=\"nofollow\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> 713.847.0112<br \/><strong>Address:<\/strong>8312 Broadway St.  <br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> Houston<br \/><strong>State:<\/strong> TX 77061<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/save-arlenes-home-store\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/save-arlenes-home-store<\/a><\/p>\n<p><object type=\"text\/html\" data=\"http:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/save-arlenes-home-store\" style=\"width:900px; height:400px;\"><\/object><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=arlenes-home-store-is-calling-for-urgent-financial-help-to-cushion-the-harsh-effects-of-the-pandemic-on-a-oncethriving-business\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>$25,000 is the amount the small furniture company needs to get back on its feet and continue to provide a paying job for employees The COVID-19 pandemic brought on immeasurable harm to businesses owing to reduced demand and near-absent physical &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/arlenes-home-store-is-calling-for-urgent-financial-help-to-cushion-the-harsh-effects-of-the-pandemic-on-a-oncethriving-business_597025.html\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441,417,412,440,413],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-597025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Home-Garden","category-Marketing-Sales","category-News-Current-Affairs","category-Real-Estate","category-Services"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=597025"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597025\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=597025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=597025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=597025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
