Hey friends!!! Our dearest Melina is in need of our help. Earlier this year, while enjoying her life and watching How to Train Your Dragon, her retina detached. She underwent surgery in July, and although it was successful, she was informed that another procedure would be necessary. On December 1st, that procedure took place, but unfortunately, it has only been partially successful. This means she will need one more procedure, which she wasn’t expecting. (That’s where you all come in!) Melina needs our help! She’s been unable to work and will need to be out of work longer than expected.

Now, you all know Melina—she’s the magical, wonderful, hysterical friend who gives the best hugs, pours the best drinks, always has an ear to listen, and loves you unconditionally. And now, she needs some help. But she won’t ask for it because she’s always the one taking care of us. Now, it’s our turn to show her the love and take care of her!

Please donate what you can to help cover the unexpected additional time out of work and ensure she has everything she needs to get back to 100% and behind the bar, smiling and giving hugs to all of us!

If donating here doesn’t work for you, sending her gift cards via text or email for Instacart, Kroger, Publix, Walmart, Target, and also, if you prefer, Melina has Venmo and Zelle. Also, Melina can’t drive on her own right now, so reaching out to her and helping her get places would be a humongous help. If you’d prefer to send her an Uber gift card, that works too!!

Sending our love and thanks to you for all the help and love you’re able to give to Melina!! Love, Jessica Medovich and Ashley Mercurio
