Bouncin Craze has been a popular place for children to play in Edmond for 12 years, but business took a hit when COVID-19 struck.

"So, we haven't been able to pay the rent and haven't been able to pay the bills," Diana Hyde, of Bouncin Craze, said.

She told KOCO 5 that the building that once housed Bouncin Craze and happy children playing in the inflatables is now quiet and empty.

"I love to serve the parties," Hyde said. "there's nothing like seeing the children happy."

Those big open-play parties are now down to just private parties -- with only one happening over the weekend.

"I said last night, 'Lord, what do we do? What do we do? What do we do?' I'm going to get emotional. Humbly asking for help," Hyde said.

Like many small businesses, Bouncin Craze is desperate for help. So, Hyde took to Facebook, asking for donations to keep the business afloat.

"We've tried the government funding and all that, and we haven't got any assistance," she said.

Hyde told KOCO 5 that her husband has picked up an extra job to pay for their personal bills, but their small-family business is on the brink of closing for good.

"We don't pay ourselves," Hyde said. "Everything we've done for the past year has been done to keep the doors open."

Hyde said they are relying on the public and prayer for that to happen. Anyone who wants to donate to Bouncin Craze can do so here.
