Support Debbie and Greg Through This Crisis
Donation protected
I'm looking for support for my good friend Debbie and her husband Greg. They are currently facing a sudden notice requiring them to vacate their beloved restaurant, The Buffalo Chophouse in Port St. Lucie, FL. They have been given 2 weeks to accomplish this after having received a substantial delivery of food, beer, wine, and liquor stock.
Debbie handles literally every aspect of the restaurant, from hiring and training, payroll, to hostess, waiting tables when shorthanded, tending bar, laundry, ordering supplies, events, and even helping Greg cook in the kitchen. Greg is facing a serious medical condition requiring daily treatments, which makes standing on his feet all day incredibly difficult, yet he continues to show up and push through.
In addition to this sudden news, they have to find another place to live, as their landlord has announced his intentions to sell their home. Through all this turmoil, Debbie's main concern is their employees and helping them find employment. Debbie and Greg host the Buffalo Bills Mafia for football games and have been an icon serving their community for 15 years, both at the Tinfish and Buffalo Chophouse. They recently took out a loan to pay their vendors and were finally recovering from setbacks local businesses faced following the pandemic.
Their only source of income will end abruptly due to this heartless news, yet the bills will still need to be paid. Any money raised will help them make payroll, pay vendors, and help them search for a place to live. They have raised their wonderful children in Port St. Lucie and pray they will find another source of income and affordable housing. Thank you in advance for any amount you can help with.
