Friends of John Pottinger (Owner - Al's Deli)

Donation protected
Hi, on behalf of my friend John Pottinger, I am starting this new fundraiser to assist him in his efforts to reopen the popular sandwich shop in Evanston, Illinois.

John shares his story: " As many people know, I have been trying to reopen the Deli for several months now, and am happy to report that I am in serious talks with one possible investor. On the advice of my attorney I have closed down the Amis des Al's Deli Go Fund Me campaign until the reopening is assured.

In the meantime, I am running low on money. Bills are piling up, and my credit card balance is scary high. I have been most grateful for all of the support provided in the last several years, and am reaching out to you my loyal friends and customers for help in getting through this rough patch."

Please contribute a little something to get John back on his feet financially and give him the peace of mind to keep going to reopen the shop. I am sure, that you, like me are looking forward to an Al's Deli ham and cheese on baguette, soup or a homemade cookie again.
