SAVE MAD MODERN!

SAVE MAD MODERN! Cedar Rapids, Iowa just experienced its second worst flood event in recorded history. Many homes and businesses were saved by a temporary flood wall that was quickly constructed through the heart of the city. Unfortunately, some locations were not behind the safety of the barrier due to engineering requirements and they are now left to salvage what they can, muck out their buildings, and start over.
One of those businesses is Mad Modern and I am calling on the community to help by making a contribution that will go directly towards reopening Mad Modern ASAP. Mad Modern is a family-owned business in the NewBo neighborhood that specializes in vintage midcentury furniture and interiors. If you’ve stopped by the shop then you know what a treasure Mad Modern is. Dave, the owner, is a personal friend and I’ve been a customer since they opened 6 years ago. Really, you couldn’t ask for a better example of what makes NewBo the Bohemian capital of Iowa. Please, let’s all help them shout out “OPEN FOR BUSINESS”! Crowdfunding will be the fastest avenue to help them stay afloat (pun intended) during this difficult time. They will appreciate every penny and knowing that so many people have their backs. Thank you for your help in sharing this request widely and for making a contribution. It takes a village! Peace and love.

A little about me, my name is April Mead, and I'm a former longtime resident of Cedar Rapids. I put this campaign together because Dave would never ask for contributions because he is humble. I can't think of a more deserving person and business. He will be ever so gratious and may even be so kind as to throw a party in the parking lot in the future (I'll provide the beer & it won't be that cheap stuff he likes)!
One final note, for transparency, these funds will only be withdrawn by Dave Owens, owner of Mad Modern. On behalf of Dave and his family, thank you for your generosity!
