My name is Deborah Riley and I am organizing this GoFundMe on behalf of Walter Couch - Our dear friend and stylist at Lavish Salon. His illness is serious and we are unsure when he'll be able to return to work.

Walter is more than just a stylist at Lavish Salon. He’s a great listener, such a funny ,fabulous stylist and a friend. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of sitting in his chair, you know just how much care he puts into every detail, from your haircut to remembering what’s happening in your life.

Right now, Walter is facing serious medical challenges that require alot of time away from work. For a stylist, time away from the chair means no income, even as bills continue to come in. This has created a heavy financial burden on top of the physical and emotional toll of recovery.

We are raising $7,500 to help Walter cover:

• Medical costs (treatments, prescriptions, follow-up care)

• Living expenses (rent, utilities, groceries)

• Income bridge during recovery so he can focus fully on healing

Every donation, big or small, helps ease Walter’s worries and keeps him stable while he takes the time he needs to recover.

How you can help:

1. Donate—any amount truly makes a difference.

2. Share this fundraiser with friends, family, and anyone who knows Walter’s kindness and talent.

3. Leave a message of encouragement; your words mean as much as your gifts.

Walter has given so much of himself to our community. Now it’s our turn to stand by him. Thank you for helping support Walter’s recovery and stability.
