Help John & Tyanna Williams restore Truth Ribz
Donation protected
Hi! My name is Ja'Waun Williams and I am the son of John & Tyanna Williams. They are two extremely hard-working individuals who unfortunately have experienced a major loss; their prized possession, "Truth Ribzzz & More" was broken into and utterly destroyed. One week after celebrating their 31st anniversary and 2nd year grand opening anniversary, the restaurant was burglarized and vandalized.
The individual/s responsible broke the window, climbed under gate and through the glass. After gaining entry to the inside they smashed the artwork that adorned the walls, including pictures of my beloved niece. They proceeded to attempt a forcible entry into the back door that provided entrance to the kitchen and cash register. After failing to open the locked door with some tool - most likely a crowbar - the vandals tried breaking the window that shields the rest of the wall. The window, being bullet proof, did little to appease their efforts because they then decided the ceiling would be their best bet. The individual/s responsible grabbed a chair, tore down the ceiling tiles and metal supports then climbed up. They broke through the barrier and came out the other side in the backroom (causing irreparable damage to the cooling system and walls). After gaining entry to the kitchen, they ravaged everything in sight and began snatching both registers out the sockets. Finally, the burglars made off with their small prize through the back door yet, not before causing at least $20,000+ worth of damage to my parents' dream...
I love both my parents to death and have seen them break their backs all their lives in order to provide for myself, my sister and niece. I hate they had to experience this unfortunate incident but know we will not give up in pursuit of full restoration. Unfortunately, my parents have put their all into this dream and the current state of the restaurant brings not only the question of "what next?" but "how they will survive?" We have served the community of Roseland for years and will continue to do so in spite of those who would tear us down! I pray you all find it in your hearts to provide whatever support you can and help my parents' dream become real again. Thank you!
