Hi my name is Kirsten Thorson. Yesterday I lost a dear friend. His name was Bryce Ward. A pillar of the Ahsahka/Orofino community. He and his wife, Stormy, run the Northfork Cafe in Ahsahka. They moved from Boise to join this tight network of people and were instantly loved. Bryce was the type of person to provide a meal or give the jacket off his back to someone in need. He will be sorely missed and loved by those who were lucky enough to know him.

Bryce leaves behind the cafe to Stormy and their sons. However, the cafe is in debt and now Stormy is at risk of losing her home and business. Even a donation of $5, the price of a coffee, would make a difference in her life. If you can’t donate, I completely understand, but please share this link to his GoFundMe page.
