Assistance for Onyx cafe Mayfield tragedy

We thank the wonderful community that   is Mayfield and Newcastle for your words of support and offer of assistance at this time. 

A lot of the community has asked what they can do, which we are completely touched by and thankful for. 

As we have all been in complete shock, we have been lost on what to ask for or even know how we can be helped. 

As far as medical costs, psychology services, this all (we’re hoping) is covered under workers care insurance. 

There are some things that are not covered which is why we thought we should start up this page. 

As individuals and as a team, we all have a lot of things to work through. None of us want to be in a rush to come back to work. We need time.

We would love to be able to provide all families, the staff and witnesses, customers, the barber shop and her client, anything they should need personally to care for themselves during this traumatic time. 

If there is a specific way you would like your funds allocated, please indicate this in your donation and we will make sure it is given to the right person or place. 

Any donations entrusted upon this means has a heartfelt guarantee of worthy causes for everyone involved in this tragedy. 

We envision funds to be used for such things as:
-counselling services not covered by insurance 
-rent assistance 
-income assistance for all
those affected by this tragedy 
-therapeutic and comforting items
-help with insurance claims 
-interim support funds 

We thank you all for your support and care for us at this time.
