DETROIT (WXYZ) — We know it’s going to be a long road to recovery and it’s not going to be easy. We’re going to lean on each other until we make it through to the other side.

We're calling it The Rebound Detroit, we've done it before, we can do it again and 7 Action News is here to help.

“How am I gonna survive or how are my employees going to survive? How are we going to pay bills?” said small business owner Jason Rios.

Circumstances we never saw coming. Financial difficulties we never imagined.

“It gets kind of scary there after 3 weeks of no payment,” said small business owner Sarah McConnell.

For many of us, our livelihood has been thrown into question, prompting an information vacuum, the need for answers, the thirst for resources and advice.

How do we navigate these unprecedented times? We do it together through a new WXYZ initiative called ‘The Rebound Detroit’.
