Hi guys! My name is Chyanne and working through the hydroponics industry I had the pleasure of meeting John and Sean Piccirilli. John is the owner and creator of Cutting Edge Solutions, a specialty fertilizer company, and has been involved in gardening, farming and spreading his knowledge to others since the 1970s among working on many other amazing things in this industry.  Sean has recently become Operations Manager at Cutting Edge and has been my best friend for about 4 years since I met him in Portland, OR. Sean is probably one of the most incredible and loving human beings I have ever met. He has a heart of gold, and after meeting his Uncle John, I can see where he gets it from. If you have met this family, you grow to love them very quickly.   

I just recently had the pleasure of visiting these guys in Santa Rosa on their property and having a lovely dinner with them and Elizabeth Benson, who also works at Cutting Edge as a lab assistant. These guys were very excited to have just finished the flooring in their living room, and were making several more plans to upgrade the home. Just a few days ago on September 27th, their property was burnt very badly from the Glass fire. Thank god Sean was home and awake to hear firetrucks and then feel the heat of the flames to know it was time to pack up the house and GO. It wasn't until yesterday, September 30th, that it was confirmed everything is gone. 

I am beyond devastated for John, Sean, and Elizabeth for what they have lost, among everybody else that has been impacted by these wildfires this year. I know that this year we are all struggling, so please do not feel obligated to donate anything at all, but anything will be greatly appreciated and be passed on to these guys to start trying to rebuild their lives again. If you cannot donate, I ask that you say a prayer or send a message to anyone you know being impacted right now. Even the kind words can help. 

Funds will go toward uninsured items lost in the fire and for temporary housing while these guys get back on their feet. The end goal will be to work toward rebuilding a new home. While John had home insurance, Sean and Elizabeth had just started their journey in Santa Rosa only 6 months ago, so they lost all of their belongings and are just looking to slowly start over. 

Thank you so much in advance, 

Chyanne
