Give Clarence Hope & help him bury his Nephew
Donation protected
I'm Marc Collins, Chef of Circa 1886 in Charleston SC, and I am starting a GoFundMe page for our dishwasher, Clarence, who has had a seriously rough year all while trying to do the right thing for so many in his life. Clarence is the type of guy that would never ask for a handout, he'd rather just put the work in to achieve his needs and I respect that immensely but the Kitchen team knows just how much he needs this.
Clarence came to us shortly after the pandemic caused the restuarant he was working at for many years to close. Once onboard he jumped right in to helping us with whatever needed to be done. Several months into his new position with us his Mom's health started to decline. She passed away a couple months ago and shortly after that he took on the responsibility of being the caretaker for his 2 nephews and a niece that his Mom was taking care of. This new addition to his living arrangements caused him to have to move into a larger living situation to help take care of them. During all of this he never wavered from his duties nor complained about his situation.
We enjoy his friendly attitude so much that when we were looking to add a dishwasher to the team he quickly mentioned one of his nephews for the position and we hired him on the spot!
Unfortunately we just found out Clarence lost his other nephew to needless gun violence this week. As you can imagine this has had a profound effect on him and his family. Our hope with this page is to help restore his hope and help with all of the extra expenses he has had to incur this year and the funeral arrangements for the recent passing of his nephew.
So thank you in advance from myself and the entire team at the restaurant for any and all help you can provide for our Clarence!
