<div>Hi, I'm Jon, a regular customer at The Mannequin Café, a wonderful family-run business at 51 Corporation Road in Middlesbrough. I'm reaching out because they desperately need our community's help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Devastatingly, they were hit by burglars this week - the fourth break-in in just five years. While the thieves took very little, they've left extensive damage including a completely shattered window that insurance won't cover due to the repeated incidents.  I've watched this family pour their hearts into serving our community with delicious homemade food and warm hospitality, but this unexpected expense threatens their ability to keep their doors open.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anything you can contribute, no matter how small, will help them rebuild, repair and invest in better security. You can also show your support by visiting for lunch, trying their amazing afternoon tea or celebration cakes, and spreading the word to friends and family. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They're the kind of local business that makes Middlesbrough special, and with our help, they can overcome this setback and continue being a cherished part of our community for years to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds will be used by Mannequin to carry out repairs, improve their security to hopefully prevent future attacks and most importantly, keep their award winning business afloat.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you!
</div>
