I’m Rob Yankowski of Upstate Tax Services, organizing this GoFundMe to support Shelby, owner of The Arsenal Reserve. Shelby has worked tirelessly to build her business here in Watervliet, showing a deep commitment to her community, staff, and patrons. Over the years, she has faced many challenges, but her dedication has never wavered.

Recently, Shelby encountered an unexpected and devastating setback. Over the past weekend, frozen pipes caused a total loss at The Arsenal Reserve. This has been incredibly difficult for Shelby, especially after all the hard work she’s put into building a welcoming space for everyone in the community. Many people have reached out, asking how they can help during this tough time.

This fundraiser is an opportunity for all of us to come together and support Shelby as she recovers from this loss. Every contribution will help her rebuild, support her staff, and continue serving the Watervliet community. Any effort is appreciated—Shelby sends her love and gratitude to everyone who stands by her. Thank you for your kindness and support. — Rob Yankowski, Upstate Tax Services
