A Vancouver poet launching a tiny publishing studio needs a $2,000 bridge to cover licenses and site. Evidence and an itemized plan inside.

Discussion

Hey mods and neighbours. I am Able, a Vancouver-based poet who just incorporated Veloura Studios to publish local work and run small shows. I released my first book this summer. I am requesting a one-time 2,000 bridge to cover city licensing and a basic site so I can start selling legally and fund the work with revenue.
Proof: photos of me in the studio with today’s date and username, business registration screenshots, book listing, and a line item budget.
What are these funds in order: license, website, accounting setup, and initial print proof?
What you get if you help: your name on the site's founders page for a year and a private PDF chapbook.
Once the license clears, I will post receipts and a public update. Thank you for reading.
Note: Payment links are to be sent in private messages.

It's not begging; I want community support for my community-driven project because I know it's extremely important to save poetry as an art and also promote the said art to help people the same way it helped me in my hours of need.
