Dustin and Ernestine, the amazing couple behind our beloved local plant shop Leaf & Spine, need our help. While grocery shopping for their crew, their truck was stolen right from the parking lot. This wasn’t just any truck—it belonged to Dustin’s dad, and it was helpful for running their small business and supporting their family.

Leaf & Spine is more than just a plant shop. It's one of LA's best community spots for plant lovers everywhere. Through Dustin and Ernestine’s hard work and passion, they’ve introduced us to so many unique species of plants that bring us daily joy. And they are so generous with their wealth of knowledge about how to best care for them. They have a true and genuine passion for plants and bringing people together around them.

An unexpected loss like this is challenging for any small business. Dustin & Ernestine work nonstop, and insurance refused to cover the loss. Recuperating costs for the truck will cost around $12,000, so every dollar helps them navigate this unexpected loss.

Possible ways to support:

1. Donate (any amount helps!)

2. Buy plants from their shop

3. Spread the word

Let’s come together to support this family the way they’ve supported our community!
