We created a destination garden center with two retail greenhouses, offer landscaping, and have a paint-your-own pottery business during our off-season. We had just switched insurance and had to significantly increase our deductible to be able to pay our premium for our business.

This July, we had a softball-size hailstorm that destroyed our entire community and devastated our business, which is our family's livelihood. We will be alright, but we got zero dollars from insurance to help with any repairs to our greenhouses or store. Thankfully, a lot of our plants recovered fairly well. All repairs have been out of pocket so far.

God has brought a lot of good out of this crushing situation, and I am confident we will hit our $50K before Christmas! We thank and love you all for being a part of our story!
