It has been just a few short days since the town that I love and home to my dream business was ravaged by heavy rains and floods.  I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support that I have received these past few days.  Complete strangers have sent me notes of encouragement, compassion and love.  Neighbors and customers have texted, called and emailed me not to give up, that I must come back.  I can't imagine my life without my customers, seeing their children grow up, giving their dog a biscuit while they shop, hosting Yappy Hour or The Wine Bin Outdoor Summer Movies.

I have always lived by the mantra that it is better to give than to receive, partly because I hate writing Thank You notes but mainly because it is better to give than to receive.

It pains me greatly to set up a go fund me account but it pains me more not to be able to continue The Wine Bin, pay my staff and support my family. 

Thank you,
Dave
