Dear friends and family,

I want to express my gratitude to those who have helped me with their donations during these challenging times, with special thanks to my dear mother Jacky (both real and virtual). It was her idea to reach out to friends and family via GofundMe. Merci maman pour tout! But friends and family, I can still use your donations, as I am relocating to Santa Cruz CA, with additional expenses in first month rent and security deposit. I am selling all my Merced household items (but tv and weber) to raise money and hope to reach 5K by year end on Gofundme. Your donations will help me relocate, pay credit card and utility bills, and restart. I wish you all a merry holiday season and thank you for your generosity and sympathy. Stephane
