Dear friends, neighbors, and extended community,

We’re reaching out with full hearts and hopeful spirits on behalf of someone so special in our Los Angeles community. Our beloved friend, Kenna Vanessa Guess — one of the brightest lights and the hands-down best bartender — was recently involved in a serious car accident. Thankfully, she’s with us, but the road to recovery will be long and full of challenges.

If you’ve ever sat across from her at the bar, you know the magic she brings — not just in a poured drink, but in the way she listens, lifts spirits, and makes everyone feel like they matter. She’s been a steady hand and a safe place for so many of us. Whether it was a tough night, a celebration, or just one of those days, she’s been there — generous, kind, and deeply human.

Now, she needs us to be there for her.

We’ve created this GoFundMe to help cover her medical expenses, missed work, and the everyday essentials she’ll need as she heals. Any amount you’re able to give, no matter how small, will go directly toward recovery — and mean the world to someone who has always given so much of herself to others.

If you’re not able to donate, please consider sharing this with others who might be moved to help. Kindness has a way of coming full circle, and right now, she could really use a circle of support around her.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. Let’s rally for our girl.

With love and gratitude,

Kenna's friends
