<div>I am Sandra Ramsey, Dana Neely's mother. I am trying to raise funds for my daughter's restaurant to keep Dana's dream alive &amp; Girls Gone BBQ living.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My daughter Dana isn't just a BBQ pitmistress; she's a resilient &amp; determined woman.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dana dreamed of creating an inclusive BBQ experience that brought people together &amp; spread pure smoky joy. After 12 years in Seattle honing her skills, Dana packed up her life &amp; relocated to Fayetteville, Arkansas in 2020, determined to make her dream a reality. And she did – Girls Gone BBQ became a brick &amp; mortar in 2022!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But Dana's path has been one of extraordinary challenges. She persevered through having to delay opening GGBBQ due to COVID, being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 &amp; enduring 9 surgeries along with radiation through her cancer treatment from 2021-2023.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, something even more unimaginable happened, especially for a pitmistress/pitmaster. A tick bite left Dana with alpha-gal syndrome, a severe allergy to red meat &amp; mammal-derived products. In a single moment, the heart of her business became off-limits. She's no longer able to be on the smoker anymore. She can't touch red meat nor can she breath it. This includes pulled pork, brisket, ribs &amp; sausage. All the things that encompass being a pitmistress are now off-limits to Dana &amp; she can no longer do her job.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even while heartbroken &amp; devastated, Dana is determined to find a way to keep the smoker billowing &amp; her team working. The goal is to hire &amp; train someone to help Dana’s chef &amp; manager Quincy uphold the same amazing quality GGBBQ is known for. Dana will still be the face of the business, just outside of the kitchen. This transition isn't cheap, &amp; there's no small business "allergy to meat" insurance policy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That's where you come in – Dana's family, friends, loyal customers, &amp; the larger BBQ-loving community. Here's how you can help:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* **Donate:** Anything you can give will make a massive difference in helping Dana hire top talent &amp; ease the financial burden of this transition.
</div>
<div>* **Spread the Word:** Share our Go Fund Me far &amp; wide! Use social media, tell your fellow BBQ fanatics; every share helps her find more supporters.
</div>
<div>* **Visit Girls Gone BBQ:** Don't forget, the best way to help is to come to enjoy the incredible food Dana so lovingly built.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's been a rough road, but Dana isn't giving up, &amp; we shouldn't either. Let's show her that with a community behind her, Girls Gone BBQ will thrive as the legacy she always dreamed it would be.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>**Thank you for believing in Dana &amp; the power of the BBQ spirit!**
</div>
