My best friends family could use a hand...

Donation protected
Hey all, if you know me, you probably know about my best friend John. A lot of my greatest times have been experienced side by side with him. He lives with his amazing Wife Ariel and their family in Washington and they own their self made Antique and oddity shop and have brought a lot of art and love to the small community in Kelso. But it's been a struggle recently to maintain, for everyone. John and Ariel also have a son, and have chosen to help another family by adopting two boys, Hugo and Simon. Since the boys are literally brothers they didn't feel right only adopting one. I travel every winter to see them and when I have a negative thought about humanity all I have to do is think on them and my faith returns. As driven and hard working as they are it has been extremely challenging to stay above water. And they found that the two adopted boys have another brother. One child is a trial to care for, now imagine 4 boys. They are all wonderful and raised with such love and compassion and with good examples of how to live life in their adopted parents.
Now it's hard for everyone, but if you have any option to support the Large's while the business is slow, it would mean so much to me and them. If you cannot that is absolutely understood. I know this was a bit long winded but these people mean a lot to me. Give what you can and share. They give so much to these children, and with just a little help they can get through these trying times. Thanks everyone and take care of yourselves too.
