Let's Help Brian Blatz and Dan Davis
Donation protected
Hello, I am writing on behalf of Brian and Dan's friend group to ask for your help in supporting Dan Davis and Brian Blatz, who are struggling with significant medical expenses and the loss of their restaurant business.
In January, Dan suffered a life-threatening heart and blood infection. He was hospitalized for 41 days, with 10 days on life support, 17 in a coma and a month in a rehab facility. During that time, Brian managed to advocate for Dan, keep the restaurant running and cover Dan's role in the kitchen. Their bad luck grew even worse when an agreement could not be reached regarding their lease and sadly, Fiddleheads will be closing its doors for good on June 18, 2023.
Brian and Dan have served their community lovingly for nearly 20 years without fail, even during the pandemic. Fiddleheads' rich history includes hundreds of family celebrations, first dates, girls' night outs, fundraising dinners, food pantry collections, coat drives, art shows and so many more meals that have impacted our lives.
Below is a Gofundme link to help with medical expenses and assist with the transition to the next phase of their lives. If you've ever enjoyed a meal from Chef Dan, or that warm front-of-house hospitality from Brian, you know they've been there for you. Now let's be there for them. Please lend a helping hand.
Please feel free to add your own memory of Fiddleheads and how it has touched you over the years.
