<div>On Tuesday evening, <strong>our beloved Chef Charles was rushed to the hospital with severe chest pain.</strong> After several tests, doctors discovered he has two blocked arteries and will need to undergo emergency open-heart surgery on Wednesday October 29th.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This sudden health crisis has turned our world upside down. As a result, we’ve made the incredibly hard decision to close our Algiers Point location on December 31st so we can focus fully on Charles’s recovery and healing.

</div>

<div><strong>Charles is the heart of 14 Parishes — the flavor, the fire, the reason we exist.</strong> We’re asking for your help during this overwhelming time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This GoFundMe will help us cover:

</div>

<ul>

<li>Medical expenses related to Charles’s surgery and recovery

</li>

<li>Financial obligations tied to terminating our Algiers lease

</li>

<li>Business transition costs as we prepare to operate at a reduced capacity

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’ve ever enjoyed a plate from 14 Parishes, met Charles behind the grill, or just want to support a small family business in a moment of need — please consider donating or sharing this campaign.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every bit of support means the world to us.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love and gratitude,

</div>

<div>Lauren &amp; the 14 Parishes Family
