My heart goes out to anyone who has the balls to risk everything they have to open up a business in this industry. My heart breaks for anyone who loses their business after risking it all in this industry. I can't imagine how devastating this must be, but it compells me to do anything I can to provide some kind of relief for the owner to help keep them on their own two feet during this difficult transition.

During this moment I'm sure he is trying to maintain his sanity while going through such a difficult time. My hope is to provide some kind of cushion to make that even just a little bit easier for him. Even with a failed business. those bills are going to keep pouring in and just because difficult times are at his door, doesn't mean that life and it's demands will slow down for him. Please help me make my friend's life a little less arduous as his life has just been turned up on it's head.

Even the smallest amount between a large quantity of people can mean the biggest, most positive impact for him and his family. Even $5 could mean the world to them. If you can find time in your life and compassion in your heart to help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Also. He doesn't know I'm doing this for him. As a man, I know I wouldn't want to ask anyone for help either, but that doesn't mean he doesn't need it. As a man with a lot of pride, I could only imagine how I would feel in his shoes. That's why I'm starting this gofundme. To help someone who needs it, that might be too proud to ask. So in that regard: Don't tell him I'm doing this for him!
