Hi, My name is Gwendolyn kinder; I am fundraising on behalf of a family friend named Brain Bowman. He lost his small local business due to a fire in the early hours of last night. While some of you may not know Brian or his business, it was a Staple of the Loves Park community. It created a vintage environment to buy and sell new and old vintage vinyl, sound systems, record players, movies, gaming systems, etc. This has been Brian's life work for the past 27 years, and anyone who knows Brian knows that he is one of the most selfless, hardworking and genuine people you will ever meet. These devastations have sent shockwaves throughout families and friends. Anything helps to get Brian back to putting his best foot forward after this unpredictable devastation.
