Recently, the gulf coast of Florida was devastated by Hurricane Idalia. Our good friend Brian Lakin was impacted by this horrible storm. Many of you know that Brian has not had it easy recently. As Brian was trying to rebuild his life, Hurricane Idalia wiped out his apartment. He lost all of his furniture, clothing and more importantly, a place to live. Brian has many friends and family that he has been there for over the years and now it is our turn to be there for Brian.

I am reaching out to all of Brian's friends in any way they can. If we all give a little, it will add up to a lot and help Brian get back on his feet. Based on the number of people that have already reached out to Brian, I have no doubt we will get this done for him very soon.

Respectfully Yours,

Steven Pugliese
