Hello to all of you in my wonderful community,

Some of you may know that my mother passed in October. It was a bit unexpected. My parents had been together almost 59 years. On what would have been their 60th wedding anniversary ( December 26,2023), my father had a stroke. He was moved from the hospital to a rehab facility, a few weeks ago. My parents do not have any retirement or 401 K, only Social Security. That leaves my sister and I with extended care duties. My sister is all alone, in Minnesota, with this responsibility and needs my help. She and I have no extra money to help in the situation. Only our physical presence.

With all of this, and the loss of Magdelena's Savories and Sweets, I am trying to move my family, back to Minnesota, to help. We don't have the money presently and I have outstanding debt related to Magdelena's . So, I am humbly asking for help with moving expenses. We need to pack our small 3 bedroom house with our three cats and move across country. We have to secure a 3 bedroom home to rent in MPLS, Mn and I have to secure a job. Luckily, my wonderful Lagunitas family has reached out to help me secure a job in Minnesota, through their restaurant and sales connections. We have to help my father secure a living situation that my sister and I can help with the care he needs.

I support my two teenagers on my sole income and was unable to secure a personal loan. So, with Bowed Head and Deepest Gratitude, I ask for you kindness and help.

May you have a wonderful New Year surrounded my those you love.

Thank You,

Greta Canton
