As this fundraiser comes to an end, I want to sincerely thank everyone who supported it and everyone who took the time to share such kind words about me.
Together, our community raised approximately $3,800 through restaurant profits for the last 3 days , plus additional contributions from our donation jar. More importantly, we came together to support someone during one of the most difficult times in their life.
To be honest, I don’t see myself as doing anything extraordinary. I’m simply doing what I believe many people in this community would do if they had the opportunity. I am grateful to be part of a town that cares for one another, and I feel fortunate enough to be able to help instead of being the one who needs help.
I feel incredibly lucky to call Dexter home. This community has supported my family and our restaurant for many years, and being able to give back is one small way of saying thank you.
The kind comments about what type of person I am mean more than you know, but the truth is that this fundraiser was never about me. It was about coming together as a community to help someone facing a difficult time. I was simply honored to be a small part of it.
Thank you, everyone, for your support, your generosity, and for reminding me once again what a special community we have. Dexter truly is a wonderful place, and I am grateful to be a part of it. ❤️
