Help Drunk Shrub Replace Destroyed Materials!

Who we are
Drunk Shrub was born out of a need. Sheela Lal, the founder, chose to cut back on her alcohol intake, and quickly felt frustrated by the social norm of keeping a drink in hand. Sheela still wanted to go out with her friends and patron her bartender friends - just without the alcohol. Shrubs were a perfect option: A drinking vinegar concentrate infused with fruit, herbs and spices.
With 5 South Asian-inspired flavors (like "Mirchi Night" and "Cool Amla"!) Drunk Shrub is building a small following and attempting to build a new culture of inclusive socializing with it. More than that? Sheela is a longtime policy wonk and organizer equitable resource allocation and access
And I'm Nina, one of Sheela's close friends and her co-host on Almirah Radio Hour .
Why Does Sheela and Drunk Shrub need help?
The story goes like this: The individual Sheela rents her (expensive) health department-compliant kitchen threw out all of her supplies. All of them. More than that, he lied and said that he had tried to contact Sheela many times about the supplies. But when she texted him yesterday, he had no idea who she was.
$500 may not be a lot, but it is absolutely devastating when you're a small business owner. Your donation will help Sheela -- a dear friend and fellow community organizer -- replace the goods that were destroyed so that Drunk Shrub can continue production into the summer.
