Help Jeff Restore His Grilling Joy

If you are receiving or reading this message, you probably know or have met, Jeff. Or as some of us know him, "The Jeff." Jeff is unique in the fact that he puts others first, regardless of the circumstances and what he has going on. If you know him well enough, you probably know that he loves to grill. To fit the narrative of putting others first, Jeff recently accompanied me to central Florida to help my mom with replacing and building a new deck, as the deck was becoming a safety concern. What we did not realize at the time, was how bad Hurricane Helene would effect his home. Jeff and Mel lost EVERYTHING that was in their garage. Most importantly, they lost Jeff's grills due to mold and quick rusting from the salt water. Sure, they lost Mel's car, most of his hats (another prized possession), and other valuable artifacts. This GoFundMe is only aimed at helping them replace Jeff's grills. He lost his prized Weber, Ooni pizza oven, and his Blackstone. In the meantime and upon his arrival back in St Pete Beach, Jeff spent minimal time at cleaning out their losses and has quickly turned to assist others. He has spent every day volunteering his time to help recover or dispose of lost items for other families, most importantly, the elderly. As you all know, Jeff does not know about this GoFundMe, but his wife (Mel) does. To complete this GoFundMe, so I can transfer funds to him via Venmo or Zelle, I need to make this statement so everyone knows.. I guess that's a good thing since some people are shady. Thanks to everyone again!
