Dear friends, family, and community members,

I’m reaching out to you today to share the story of an incredible artist and friend, Jess Roberts, who has dedicated the past 10 years to enriching the St. Petersburg community with her vibrant artwork. Tragically, Jess lost her entire workshop, art studio, supplies, and car due to the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene.

As a kind and generous soul, Jess is always the first to lend a helping hand to those in need. Her selflessness and spirit of community have touched so many lives, and now she needs our support in her time of crisis.

With market season just around the corner, Jess finds herself without the resources to run her business. Currently in temporary housing, she is faced with the challenge of rebuilding not only her workspace but also her livelihood. This is where we can help.

Your contributions will go directly toward replacing her lost supplies, finding a new workshop space, and securing reliable transportation. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in helping Jess get back on her feet and continue sharing her beautiful art with the world.

Let’s come together to support an artist who has given so much to our community. Your generosity will not only help Jess rebuild her life but also restore her ability to inspire and uplift those around her.

Thank you for your kindness and support. Please share this campaign to help spread the word! Let's keep the flame of afterburnt burning!!

With gratitude,

Evan
