Rising from the Ashes:
Oshia's Journey to Restore Please Don't Tell ATL



Dear cherished friends, art enthusiasts, and the beautiful community that has embraced Please Don't Tell ATL,

It's Oshia here, and I'm reaching out to you with a heart full of gratitude, resilience, and a bit of vulnerability. In June, we opened the doors of Please Don't Tell ATL, a space that became more than just a business—it became a canvas for dreams, a sanctuary of creativity, and a place where the pulse of our vibrant community echoed through every stroke of paint.

The recent fire that swept through our beloved studio was more than a tragedy; it was a chapter of dreams and hard work engulfed in flames. As I stand amidst the remnants of what was once a haven for artists, I can't help but feel the weight of the challenge ahead.

**The Impact:**
Please Don't Tell ATL is not just a business to me; it's my heart, my passion, and a piece of our collective spirit. The fire took away not only the physical space but also the dreams we were weaving together, one brushstroke at a time.

**How You Can Help:**
**Donate:** Your support will be the palette that helps me rebuild Please Don't Tell ATL. It will fund the restoration of the studio, the replacement of lost art supplies, and the revival of a space that held so many memories.

**Share:** Share our story far and wide. Your voice has the power to bring back the colors to our canvas. Share on social media, tell your friends, and be the ripple that turns tragedy into triumph.

**The Road to Restoration:**
I can see a future where Please Don't Tell ATL rises again, where the echo of laughter, the scent of paint, and the magic of creativity fill the air. Your generosity will not only rebuild a business; it will help me piece together a dream that was momentarily shattered.

**Closing Thoughts:**
In this challenging moment, your kindness becomes the brushstroke that paints hope on a blank canvas. Thank you for being the colors in the palette of my journey. Every contribution, every share, every word of encouragement is a step towards a brighter tomorrow for Please Don't Tell ATL.

With love, gratitude, and the promise of a new masterpiece,

Oshia Lewis,
Owner of Please Don't Tell ATL
