Hi, my name is Ivan and this gofundme is to help Mike Palese and his family build back after a fire burned much of their apartment unit. Thankfully, Mike, both his kids, Owen and Dina, and their two cats, Butterman and Mr. Jimmies, all made it out of the apartment safely and with no injuries. Unfortunately much of their property, valuables, and sentimental items were destroyed. Mike has left such a energetic and bright mark on the beer and service industry, as well as the community in Richmond. So please donate what you can to help him and his family in their time of need. Thank you!
