BigBrother Comics Fire Recovery Fund
Donation protected
Kenny Russell, the owner of Big Brother Comics in downtown Sacramento, suffered a catastrophe yesterday morning when he awoke to the sound of boards breaking above him. Upon opening the door to his home and comics shop, he discovered flames tearing through the building. He was able to get himself out safely, but the building in which he lives and does business is ruined. He is unable to open his store, which is his sole source of income. In his own words, "I can't believe that my worst nightmare has happened."Kenny has poured his heart and soul into his shop, growing it by himself from the ground up over the past 11 years, as well as cultivating a network of friends and customers who share his passion for comics and gaming. Small businesses are financially vulnerable to disasters like this, and Big Brother Comics cannot survive without being able to reopen as soon as possible. In the coming weeks to months, Kenny will need to move and try to re-establish his business. In the meantime, he has no source of income to support himself or his shop. Please consider donating whatever you can to help him through this terrible time. Please also be on the lookout for updates on some deeply discounted merchandise that survived the water and smoke damage. I, Kenny's sister, am reaching out to you because Kenny is against asking for financial help from anyone, ever. He's always the one to help out anyone in need. As his friends and the Sacramento community would agree, this couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
