Hello, I’m starting this GoFundMe for two of the most amazing people I know, affectionately called “Mom & Pops” at the store. They’ve worked hard their entire lives, and this is not how their story should end.
What many don’t realize is that Pops is now over 70 and Mom is not far behind. For the past 7–10 years in Danville, VA, they’ve put in over 50 hours each week at Philly Cheesesteak, faithfully trusting that God would provide. Customers love their delicious cheesesteaks, and Mom & Pops have loved every one of their loyal supporters. They will truly miss seeing everyone daily.
While many local businesses around them closed due to financial struggles, COVID, and lack of community support, they managed to keep their doors open. Even through medical emergencies, moving Pops’ elderly sister from Philadelphia, and stepping in to raise their grandchildren, they never gave up hope that things would get better.
The funds raised here will go toward covering past due obligations and helping them through this difficult season. Thank you in advance to everyone who chooses to support Mom & Pops—you are making a difference for two people who have poured so much into others.
