DJ Comics of Wallingford, Connectictut, in Need Of Help

Mike Cotes is the owner of DJ Comics in Wallingford, Connecticut. But he appears to be in desprate times and is looking for a superhero or two to help him out. He writes on a Go Fund Me page about his problems, including the inevitable non-picked up pull list situation that has been a burden for a number of stores.

Hi. My name is Mike Cote and I am the Owner of DJ’s Comics. I am trying this as a last effort to save my Store. I love what I do and have been doing it for over 20 years. That said 10 years ago our economy took a big hit and so did my base. I had to Close old larger location and move to a smaller location to survive. I was fortunate to do so as I know many did not survive. So I count myself lucky there. But it has not been easy. All the debt and the slow rebuilding of customer base (Many lost their jobs and so I lost them as well), has caused a slow draining of my funds. I have done all I could to patch up the holes and try to move forward but the cost has been a burden that has left me on the edge. (The loss of Jobs left me with 1000’s of $$$ of Product that if you know how Comic Shops work we order in advance per Customer request with a Store file to save said Product for them when it arrives.) So I am putting out my hands and asking for help to save my Store. If I could achieve my Goal or exceed my Goal I could once and for all rid the Debt I incurred and have carried these last 10 Years. If that happened I would be safe and able to breath again. I know we are all feeling it out there but I cannot express how much it would mean to me as a small business owner doing what I love to be able to continue doing it.

He has so far raised $2,900, including a $1000 donation from a Kevin Dean and two $500 donations from Adam Fox and Chris McLean. Does anyone else feel they can help out a little?
