It takes a community...
Hello everyone. I'm more of a good news guy. I prefer that over the alternative, but there's something affecting our family this month that must take priority. Since that world event took place about 3 years ago we have been working hard, running just to stand still, if you will. Over time and the lack of a return of tourism in Old Town, we finally decided to hand over the keys to the new tenant on June 30th, 2022, after 7 Awesome years getting to know our patrons.
Since then the new tenant and I have become close, like brothers, even. He has been buying wholesale from us to provide our sauces at what's now his store, The Crazy Pepper in the same location. He's consistently ordered from us every month since, and that has been how we've gotten by for this long. However, he's experiencing what we were experiencing, and that is a steep drop-off in visitors, something that was never nearly as dramatic prior to that world event. In short, he showed me his inventory list, and he has plenty of backstock of our sauces which means the order we depend on to just satisfy the home's expenses each month is not going to happen. Being a dad to an amazing little girl, I always do whatever it takes to make it happen. This is just a big surprise and time is short. I'm going to ask that if you were planning on ordering anyway soon, that you please do and that you please share your love for our product with others. It will be the thing that saves the day. HSFAMILY 11% Off coupon code is still active on orders of $34 or more. https://SemperFryLLC.com
In addition to that I am putting up an emergency GoFundMe campaign. This is pretty serious so I need to make multiple efforts. I also became a certified personal trainer recently, but it takes time to establish oneself with a decent amount of clients. I have one at present. PLEASE HELP. You can get our award winning hot sauce, any of Dr Alphonzo Monzo, ND's products at discount from clicking his picture on our site with the code we provide, BaalBusters15, or by SHARING this Campaign far and wide beyond what we could do alone. A team effort can work miracles.
Now let's balance this with a positive story that I think is beautiful because it involves my daughter. Farrah and I were out the other evening visiting her favorite store, PetsMart, and a couple others. Here in Yuma they have a lot of animals and she visits them and gives them affection.
After we were getting her a strawberry-banana smoothie at an outdoor mall and she spotted something on a fence rail by a tree. The mourning dove was very docile and didn't appear injured. Farrah was very delicate with it, talked to it and pet it gently. She asked me to scoop it up and hand it to her and I did, very gently.
Rebecca, AKA Mom, had recently tried rescuing the same kind of bird walking around in the road in 115 degree weather. That one didn't make it long, but at least it had a cooler place to be for awhile. This one didn't try to fly away, but it could have at any time. Farrah sat with it on a bench and I took video of her because I figured we would find it a bush or tree and that would be that. Farrah wanted to take it home and nurse it back to health. I resisted a little, but I gave in. More like being Dad, I wanted her to understand what to consider before making that decision. Like if it is injured not to get sad, and that eventually we would have to set her free. I told her not to touch her face, rub her eyes and we had wet wipes on us at all times. She took a bath as well as soon as we got home.
Rebecca looked it up. It's a female dove, and they like oats. So we have been feeding it oats and shelled raw seeds and I think the bird is just happy to be here. We made a spot for it and it has a lot of room to move around. Its vitals seem strong, still no sign of anything wrong with it. It just doesn't have the urge to fly too much. Once it does we will return it to nature and that will be that. She's a special little girl with a big, nurturing heart. The bird must have sensed we meant it no harm.
This is truly a rare experience and it warms my heart to see her smile, so I thought I would share this dad story with you. We seem to be in the business of helping animals in need. We've rehomed about 9 abandoned house cats over the years, as well. That's a long story, but it seems like animals are magnetically drawn to our home when they need a little help. Between Rebecca and Farrah I live with 2 Snow Whites.
Thank you for being amazing to us these past 9 years as our family hot sauce business has been there to serve you. With your help, we will once again rally back and continue pressing on. https://SemperFryLLC.com Help and orders are greatly needed, and always appreciated. :-)
