I need help with bills, food and gas please

Hello friends, supporters, and fellow food enthusiasts,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share a little about my journey and where I find myself today. My name is Amanda Bossheart, the driving force behind Om Foods—a venture that has been centered around holistic nutrition, sustainable ingredients, and a deep-rooted connection to the community we serve.

Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way, and recently, I faced a health crisis that has left me both humbled and determined. As some of you might know, I underwent an emergency appendectomy due to a perforated appendix. What was expected to be a routine procedure turned into a two-hour surgery as the infection had taken hold. The road to recovery has been tougher than I anticipated, and it's teaching me the importance of patience and self-care.

As a personal chef, a culinary artist, and a dedicated contributor to the vibrant world of holistic food, my work has always been my passion and a means to give back to the community that has supported me. However, the physical nature of my work, which involves heavy lifting and a lot of energy, means that I must take a step back for the next 4 to 6 weeks to allow my body to heal.

Navigating through these challenges has been a journey in itself. Many of you have followed my culinary endeavors, from the restaurant I opened—a place where music, organic foods, and genuine connections thrived—to my collaborations with Mama Sattva Ghee. These experiences have shaped me and helped me create a positive impact, but they haven't been without their trials. The closure of my restaurant coincided with the onset of the pandemic, causing financial setbacks that I'm still working to recover from. And just as I was finding my footing again, this unexpected health crisis struck.

I've always believed in the strength of community and the power of shared compassion. Today, I'm reaching out with a humble request for support. I'm setting up a fundraiser to help me bridge this challenging period, covering the bills and providing nourishing food to facilitate my healing journey. Your contributions—no matter the size—will make a significant impact on my ability to overcome these hurdles and come back stronger than ever.

For those who've followed my journey closely, you know that my work is built upon a foundation of holistic nutrition, sustainable practices, and the celebration of organic and ethically raised ingredients. Our shared love for music and genuine connections has been the heartbeat of my endeavors. Your support not only aids in my recovery but also ensures that the spirit of Om Foods continues to thrive.

In this moment of vulnerability, I'm reminded of the beauty of community. If you're in a position to contribute, know that your generosity will be met with immeasurable gratitude. Additionally, I'm excited to share that Indya, a supporter of my journey, will be donating 25% of all local Mama Sattva Ghee orders to assist me during this time—a testament to the incredible bonds that food and community create.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for being a part of my journey. Your kindness, support, and positivity have always inspired me, and I'm eager to come back stronger, more resilient, and ready to continue creating experiences that nourish not only the body but also the soul.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Amanda Bossheart Om Foods
