Support Laurel Tavern Donuts rebuild after crash

Who this will help

Dear everyone,

My name is Sean, and I'm starting this fundraiser to help raise funds for the speedy reconstruction of my mom and dad's donut shop, Laurel Tavern Donuts, which was recently hit by a car.

Why I'm fundraising

My parents created this donut shop around 18 years ago and ever since, they have been making fresh doughnuts from scratch everyday at 3 a.m. and mini-burgers throughout the afternoon. Quoted in Accidentally Wes Anderson: "[My parents] ensure the freshest doughnuts hit the display cases by the time they open their doors at 5:30 a.m."

On November 30th 2023, a car crashed into the store, as seen in this News Segment. Thankfully my father, who was in the store, was not hit in the accident. We're hoping to get the store up and running as soon as possible once we start working on repairing the damages.

If you are in a position to contribute financially or offer emotional and other forms of support, it would mean the world to us. No donation is too small, and every contribution will make a significant impact.

The impact of your support

The impact of your support will help my mom and dad be able to pay their expenses since selling donuts and burgers are their only source of income. Your contributions will also help towards repairing the shop back to being a mainstay of the Laurel community.

Thank you for your generosity, charity and kindness for helping my parents.

Your support will mean the world for both my mom and dad.
