Moderators, please delete if not appropriate, but I wanted to share this story and what my good friend is doing to thank those who supported her.
I have a good friend who owns 2 small businesses, is partial owner in another and works for another. She is an amazing artist, baker, chef. Well known and loved in the community and around the world.
Her and I often shared a space at art shows/displays as our works compliment each other well.
She is a single Mom of 2 amazing boys.
A major volunteer at the Opera House I am involved with.
Recently, when returning home from a delivery, she encountered a herd of deer on the road. She swerved to miss them. This resulted in her car going off the road and rolling several times. She escaped with minor scratches/bruising.
At the encouragement of others, set up a Go Fund Me page for a new vehicle. Her car was totaled.
The amount of support was overwhelming.
Her thanks to those who donated is amazing.
Every donor ($25.00 or more) will receive a custom, original piece of art. Their names will be added to her new vehicle. She wants a vehicle which will accommodate deliveries of food, as she does catering.
The vehicle will be customized for no charge by a local business that supports her and what she does.
She is also putting the names of all donors into a drawing for a catered or restaurant, 5 course meal/beverages for 6. This will be done by her employer and her. He is a master chef that owns the restaurant. Utilizes many local, hand-picked/grown, caught, raised, shot, etc., ingredients. Most everything used is local.
I have been there in the past. The restaurant is in an 1800’s building. Has a beautiful courtyard for outside dining. The food is impeccable.
Just wanted to share how a community and the world came together to support an amazing person.
