Stand with Justyn in His Family's Crisis

Justyn Ramirez was one of the first employees we hired in our beginning months of opening our new business. Right after starting with us, he and his wife had a baby boy, Elijah, their second child. Since then, Justyn and his wife have separated and Justyn has custody of the two children. During the last 6 weeks, Justyn lost his sister after a tragic car accident.

Now, his son, Elijah is in the hospital with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and neonatal respiratory distress as well as pyloric stenosis. They performed surgery on Monday and are continuing to monitor his breathing and ensure that he can eat without vomiting. Justyn has shared with me that his son is in pain and having trouble resting. Justyn is an hourly employee, and as much as Bobby and I would love to be able to pay him full-time for as long as he needs to be out with his family, we just can't afford to do so at this point in our business.

We are asking that anyone who reads this who can spare even the cost of a meal so that this young man can be present for his son without worrying about food or bills, PLEASE donate something.
