<div><strong>Save Freccia Brothers Garage — Help Us Rebuild After a Devastating Eviction</strong>
</div>
<div>We are Frank Freccia III, Guinevere Freccia, and Dave D’Andrea Jr, and we’re heartbroken to share that Freccia Brothers Garage, the iconic air-cooled shop on West Putnam Avenue in Greenwich, CT, has been evicted after more than 100 years of continuous operation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Happened</strong>
</div>
<div>Freccia Brothers Garage has been in our family for five generations and has been serving our community for over 100 years. Frank has worked there every day since he was 10 years old, preserving the Freccia name and serving the community with honor, grit, and heart. He worked alongside the original Freccia Brothers and his father Skip.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For years, we have been embroiled in a legal family trust dispute over ownership of the building where Freccia Brothers has always been. Despite being hopeful that it would work out, unfortunately we’ve just learned that we lost the dispute and the family member who won has decided to immediately evict us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Overwhelmingly, the majority of beneficiaries do not agree with the eviction ruling and want Freccia Brothers Garage’s legacy to remain open and alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who We Are</strong>
</div>
<div>Frank Freccia III (“Frank 3”)
</div>
<div>The heart of the shop. Mechanic, historian, teacher, and steward of the Freccia craft. He devoted his entire life to this garage — showing up every single day with pride and purpose.
</div>
<div>Guinevere Freccia
</div>
<div>Guinevere launched the brand into the digital era through social media, events, and storytelling. She even introduced Lilly the Car, the beloved VW-turned-personality that brought international attention and joy to the garage’s community.
</div>
<div>Dave D’Andrea Jr.
</div>
<div>The skilled air‑cooled mechanic at Greenwich’s iconic Freccia Brothers Garage, where for over a decade he’s kept vintage Volkswagens—from Beetles to buses—running smoothly. A longtime family member and beloved face at “The Shop,” he’s widely regarded as one of the best in the business.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need Your Help</strong>
</div>
<div>We need help in order to secure a new space and re-open Freccia Bros. Nearly all of our savings have been poured into a 3+ year legal battle to try and save the shop.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar you contribute goes toward helping us recover — critical expenses, securing a new space, stabilizing our future, and preserving what’s left of a century-old institution that should have never been taken away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>️Ways You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Donate — Every contribution matters, no matter the size.
</div>
<div>Share — Tell your friends, your neighbors, and fellow car lovers.
</div>
<div>Tag @FrecciaBrothers — Let’s rally the automotive world behind this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>From the Freccia Family</strong>
</div>
<div>If you’ve ever walked into our garage or drove by, you know it wasn’t just about cars. It was about community, family, and doing things the right way.
</div>
<div>We’re devastated. But we’re not giving up.
</div>
<div>With your help, we’ll rebuild — and we’ll make sure the Freccia legacy drives on.
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with us.
</div>
<div>— Frank 3, Guinevere &amp; Dave
</div>
<div>(and Lilly the Car)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Gene Freccia. I created this fundraiser on behalf of my father, Frank to help save a business that has been part of our community for over a century.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds raised will go toward securing a new location for the garage, covering costs such as a deposit on a new space, moving equipment, and storage while they get back on their feet. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am raising these funds on Frank's behalf. Any donations received will be applied to the expenses of relocating and reopening the business.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support. It means everything to this family.
</div>
