Help Faraway Places After Fire!

Help Faraway Places Rebuild After Fire!

We're devastated to say that our family-owned restaurant, Faraway Places, was severely damaged by fire yesterday, leaving us with no choice but to start from scratch. Faraway Places was the 1st Thai restaurant in MS, and we moved from College Park to Downtown (where Aie's is now) before finally settling in beautiful Marion, MS. We have loved serving you and making memories for the last 40 years together. Today, we're sad to have to ask for the help of our wonderful community.

Yesterday morning, Saturday, December 21st, 2024, a space heater malfunctioned and started an electrical fire that quickly grew out of control. The Fire Dept came, but the best that could be done was to get everyone out safely. The restaurant will need to be rebuilt from the ground up, and we have no insurance since the initial loan was paid off years ago.

We're reaching out to our community for help in rebuilding our business. We're facing an uphill battle with no insurance coverage and limited resources. Any amount donated will go directly towards:

• Paying off outstanding debts

• Covering living expenses while we rebuild

• Rebuilding and reopening Faraway Places

Goal: $250,000

Thank you,
