We are heading towards closing for good. We have become taxed out from keeping the place going.

We have a gofundme set up and in place and we are asking everyone who cares about Helios to give. Contribute and help us pay the back rent from the pandemic so we can return to full operations again.

By paying off the back rent, we will be allowed to move into a clean, vibrant open space that will be able to reopen in.

We are working with PME to help get our rent paid down and do have some subsidies arriving which will help but we need to ask, nay beg for help this time.

We are willing to take corporate donations and sponsorships.

Please give.

Good day ladies and gentlemen. My name is James Klym representing Helios Makerspace Work… James Klym needs your support for Help keep Helios Makerspace alive!

One of the businesses that use and help our space fell victim to online theft.

They had their operational bank account cleaned out and need help recovering as they await the money to be returned.

Please consider donating!
