Lazy Oaf Lounge staff relief fund

Donation protected
Hello Madison and the surrounding areas! 

The Lazy Oaf owners (leadership) and some patrons are starting a GFM page to help the business during these very unique circumstances.  The COVID-19 virus has really taken a toll on our service industry and our everyday lives. In an industry in which even owners live order by order, day by day, tip by tip, having to shutdown operations typically means drastic consequences for the business. It is our turn to care for them, if you kindly choose to. Our goal is to help the boys with their payroll. This is not money that will go to anything else but to cover what is owed to their employees who need their money to survive and to continue to live their lives with a small sense of normalcy. 
If you can't chip in monetarily, keep the staff in your minds, check on them, say hello when you can, maybe offer a meal. 

We have all enjoyed and benefited from their welcoming service and their friendships. In some cases, we have benefited from their generosity a bit more than we should have :)
Please, if you are inclined to do so, chip in a bit. Anything counts! 

Here is one anecdote I want to share with you all:
I have known the Lazy Oaf Lounge folks for almost 10 years. I consider them family.  
When it was time for Magdi and I to get married, there was no question as to who would be our caterer for the big event. What we didn't know was the fact that the boys not only gave us a great deal and helped us out a bunch, but they also turned down business on that week to be able to attend our big day. They didn't have to do that, but that meant the world to us. From a individualistic perspective, there has not been one night when someone at the Oaf has not lent me their ear, shoulder, etc, support. I will not rest until I have done anything in my power to help out, in any way I can. That's how much that place means to us. 

Thank you for reading, caring, considering, and donating! 

Lazy Oaf and Patrons!
