Help a Beloved Member of the Bennington Community

Who this will help

Hi, my name is David Dubov-Flinn and I work at The Blue Benn Diner. Brian Carpenter, my co-worker and beloved local chef at the diner, needs our help.

Your donations will go directly to Brian, via bank transfer (minus any GFM fees, which are minimal.)

Why I'm fundraising

Recently, Brian's home was destroyed in a fire and he lost both of his beautiful dogs. He says that the house and the stuff in it weren't important, and that he's not the kind of guy to ask for help from strangers. But his heart is broken with the loss of his dogs and the Bennington community has proved that we're all in this together.

The impact of your support

Let's help Brian get back on his feet. He's such a lovely guy and does so much to bring joy to all of us with his cooking, his bright spirit and his ever-ready smile.
