Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Everyone Who Supported Us From Day One,

This is Gamze and Jon from Minik Market.

We hope this message finds you well. Like many of you, we are heartbroken after the recent fires in Altadena. These fires have caused unimaginable loss in our neighborhood, impacting countless lives and dreams.

As many of you know, we lost our Minik Market in the fires. For us Minik Market wasn’t just a shop; it was a gathering place for our community—a space where neighbors became friends and where everyone felt welcome. Losing it has been devastating.

Now, we are asking for your help.

Why We Need Your Support

Your contributions will help us during these tough times to:

• Pay our team members’ outstanding payroll.

• Fulfill commitments to the small businesses and vendors we’ve partnered with, ensuring they receive the support they need.

• Manage outstanding payments as we determine our next steps and work toward rebuilding.

Your generosity will help us stay afloat while we figure out how to move forward and explore how we can bring Minik Market back to life.

We believe in the strength of our community and know that together, we can come back even stronger. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and for supporting us during this difficult time.

Gamze and Jon
