Help My Dad Rebuild His Beloved Sunglass Shop

Hi! My name is Kendra, and my dad Patrick has been the rock of our family for as long as I can remember. Fourteen years ago he took a leap of faith and bought a small sunglass shop on Manhattan Beach Boulevard, pouring endless hours and optimism into turning it into a warm, unique, family‑style fixture of the neighborhood. I am asking for help to rebuild that beloved store after two back‑to‑back smash‑and‑grab SUV ram‑raids this month. The burglaries caused more than $200K in inventory losses and structural damage—far beyond what his small‑business insurance can cover.

I want to do everything I can to help my dad rebuild. For someone that would take the shirt off his back for a stranger, I want him to know what that same unconditional support really feels like.

Every donation will go directly toward supporting Patrick’s loyal staff, repairing the storefront and replacing eye wear stock so the shop can reopen and continue serving the community he loves. Thank you so much for your time.
