Help Keep Floyd & Terry’s Far Out Kitchen Alive

Donation protected
I’m George, Floyd’s youngest brother. I’m asking for your help to keep my big brother Floyd and his wife Terry’s dream alive. Floyd survived two heart attacks, and while he’s fighting to recover, they are carrying the weight of medical bills and lost income that threaten their small business, Floyd & Terry’s Far Out Kitchen.

Who They Are
To know Floyd and Terry is to love them. They are givers—quick with a smile, a joke, and a helping hand for anyone who needs it. As a team, they’ve shown up for family, friends, and complete strangers. For us siblings, Floyd often stepped in like a father. And Terry has been right there—steady, capable, and kind—making sure the people around them are taken care of.

The Dream They Built
After 25+ years with the same company, COVID restructuring pushed Floyd to make a hard choice. He and Terry took a leap and launched Far Out Kitchen so they could share what brings them joy: great food served with love. It worked. Customers didn’t just love the flavors; they loved the people behind them. Terry keeps the operation humming; Floyd listens to the crowd and cooks from the heart. Together, they built a loyal community—one plate, one conversation at a time.

What Happened
Last year, Floyd suffered a heart attack. He recovered and got back to serving the community—because that’s who they are: resilient. Then another heart attack struck. Floyd is bouncing back physically, but the financial hit has been severe. Medical bills piled up. While Floyd recovered, their revenue dropped. Back taxes and essential business costs stacked on top of everyday expenses. Floyd and Terry are not the type to ask for help—but to keep their dream alive, they need us now.

Why Your Help Matters
Your support goes straight to stabilizing Floyd and Terry and keeping Far Out Kitchen open:
• Medical bills from both heart attacks and ongoing care
• Back taxes to keep the business compliant and operating
• Essential business costs (permits, insurance, supplies) during recovery
• Basic living expenses while revenue stabilizes
Lifting this weight lets them focus on healing and serving the community the way they love—together.
What Your Gift Does
Every donation—large or small—moves Floyd and Terry closer to solid ground. It protects a community favorite and helps two good people who have always given more than they take. We’ll post updates so you can see how funds are used and the progress your generosity makes. Transparency matters.

1. Donate what you can right now. Every dollar helps.
2. Share this widely—friends, family, co-workers, and your social networks.
3. Leave a message for Floyd and Terry—your words mean more than you know.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, sharing, and giving. With your help, Floyd and Terry can keep their kitchen alive and get back to doing what they do best: making people happy with great food and even bigger hearts.
