Hey Fam,

Josh Swiastyn is an incredible human and friend to so many. He has been a part of the Kansas City Specialty Coffee Scene for a while now and is truly one of the best at the craft. He is also a very gifted artist and tattooer.

Over the weekend, Josh was involved in a hit-and-run while he was cycling in the Prairie Village area. He sustained a hairline fracture to the back of head, a busted mouth and a massive concussion. He was in the hospital for about 24 hours and is now home, thankfully!! This could have been so much worse but his recovery is going to take some time. I wanted to do something to help so I figured we could show him that we have his back. This is what community is about. If you have the means to help out on a financial level, that would be amazing! If not, that is totally ok too. Feel free to drop a note of kindness either online or you could bring it up to Bear Necessities Coffee Bar and I will make sure he gets those. Thank you all so much! Lets show our brother some love!
