Hello - I am Karen and I want to help Gabby and Harman while they rebuild their beautiful award winning Spa Botanica, which caught fire last month.

Spa Botanica is the ten year long dream in the making of my daughter Gabby and her dear friend and business partner Harman. They are a beloved institution in Winnipeg, catering to clients with sensitivities and offering Ayurvedic treatments.

I am so proud of their vision and determination.

Sadly, a freak accident caused their beautiful premises to catch fire on February 12 of this, their tenth year in business.

Smoke and fire damaged the entire premises, requiring almost 100% replacement of everything from plumbing and furniture to specific spa tools and product.

While the insurance covering the restoration of the premises and some of the equipment, it does not cover regular monthly expenses for the premises, nor Harman and Gabby's own salaries. Their employees are covered by EI, but they are not.

Can we all chip in something so that they can stay afloat until they have income again? Small or large, any donation will go help these admirable young women keep their homes and families while they prepare to re-open.
