Help Gerard Overcome his Greenhouse Devastation

Hi, my name is Jackie and I want to help Gerard overcome the devastation that has happened in his greenhouse. A rare virus has made it necessary to throw out half of his amaryllis bulbs. He grows amaryllis as a cut flower and these bulbs are like his children. He has been tending them his whole life, and with proper care, they continue producing for generations. There is no crop insurance available for viruses or diseases. The funds will be used to buy new bulbs to plant in the greenhouse so that he can keep farming and can also keep employing his faithful staff. 50,000 bulbs have been lost and the flowers that should have been produced from them were also lost with a total loss of at least 100,000 euros. With the exchange rate, that is about $132,000. Quite staggering.

This fundraiser is super important for me because, with everything that Gerard has been through in the past year, he could use the encouragement that people care! Thanks so much for considering helping.
