Hello, my name is Jay Pomanee. My family and I own and operate Thai Time restaurant in South Knoxville. On the evening of Sunday, April 21, 2024, a startling event disrupted our beloved restaurant when an unexpected accident occurred—a car crashed into our establishment at high speed, causing significant damage. Thankfully, due to the restaurant being closed on Sundays, no one was injured. However, the structural damage to our restaurant is substantial rendering it unsafe, leaving us with no choice but to close temporarily as we navigate this challenging situation.

The cost of repairs is daunting, and without revenue during closure, our ability to support our employees and manage ongoing expenses is severely impacted. We are reaching out to our community for support through this GoFundMe campaign, aiming to raise $10,000 to help with the repairs, inventory loss, equipment replacements, and to provide some support for our staff during this unexpected closure.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in helping us rebuild and reopen. We are committed to coming back stronger and continuing to serve our community with the same passion and dedication as before. Thank you for any support you can provide—it means the world to us during this difficult time.
