Hello friends, neighbors, and fellow Hell’s Kitchen folks — I want to introduce you to someone very special: Larry.

Larry has undergone three surgeries in three days, and he’s still not out of the woods. His mom, Bea — who many of us know and love as the favorite bartender (and friend) from The Harrow to Sesamo — has always taken care of this neighborhood. Now, she’s doing everything she can to take care of her little guy.

His pain is her pain. And as every pet parent knows, we’d do anything to protect and heal our furry companions.

Without even needing to ask her, I know our neighborhood would want to step up and support her — especially now, when her focus is entirely on Larry’s recovery.

A few of us have been thinking about how we can help them both, and we hope you’ll join us.
