STRONGER TOGETHER 🫶
Thank you to everyone who has donated or shared our gofundme. I cry every time a notification pops up that someone has donated or shared it. The generosity of my little home town has been overwhelming.
Thank you to the CBPD, the CBFD, and the city workers. Had they not responded before a 911 call even went through, the damage could have been much much worse.
Thank you to Mo and Kelly for the love and support through all of this. They’re dealing with their own disaster and both of them never miss a call. I truly have the best landlords one could ask for and that alone is priceless. Please consider helping them out through their gofundmes as well.
Thank you to all of my amazing, loyal customers and local businesses for reaching out. From getting random hugs in the grocery store to comped meals and donations. None of this was expected but you all have come through for JFB and The Tiny Turtle in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
Thank you to my staff for their patience. The economy is hard and most people are 1 missing paycheck away from being homeless and they have been nothing but supportive and will eventually be made whole.
Thank you to my partner, Gus, for keeping my head above water when I start to drown. He’s my rock.
And lastly. A huge thank you to my Dad, Brian. No one has worked harder than him trying to get both buildings back up and running. He’s been diligently calling the city, insurance companies, lawyers and the fire marshal all to see what is going on- pretty much hourly. He is taking care of everything I can’t even comprehend and I can’t be more grateful for such a supportive father right now. Dad, I love you so much.
Thank you all a million times over. I hope to see you all soon,
