Fran Scalessa House Warming Gift

Hi,

We're James McNamara and Katy Roessle, fellow yogis of Fran Scalessa of Frantastic Yoga. We're raising funds to purchase a significant house warming gift for Fran as he makes plans to move into his newly rebuilt home in Ocean Grove, New Jersey.

We'd like to purchase 7 long-lasting, no-rot, architectural-grade cellular PVC (Versatex), flower boxes ($118. each) to put on the front railings of Fran's first floor porch and second floor balcony. We'll purchase them from an online store, FlowerWindowBoxes , along with hanging brackets, and potting soil. If funds remain, we'll purchase flowers too!

We'd like the fundraising to be completed over the next week so Fran can enjoy them this summer as he completes his move-in process.

As you probably know, Fran experienced a life-altering fire at his home on February 28, 2019. With extended delays and missteps from contractors and architects, Covid, and his own health issues, Fran has waited over 2 years for his house to be redesigned to code, renovated, and rebuilt. As you know, Fran has an upbeat attitude and love for all of his yogis. His classes and followers have kept him going through these tough times. It's been a long, emotionally-wrought haul for Fran and his business partner, Mike Dancisin.

As fellow yogis of Fran, we would so appreciate it if you could join us in welcoming Fran into his new home with what we think will be a lovely gift that will enhance the architecture of the house and reflect Fran's passion for gardening. We're looking for donations to start at $25. An alternate amount with which you feel comfortable is good too.
