“Thai One On” on Fire

This is an urgent matter and I need your attention! My name is Jean and I am an immigrant from France. My lovely wife Usa from Thailand and I started our American Dream, opening an authentic affordable Thai restaurant in Northeast Seattle eighteen years ago. We have receveid rave reviews and countless long term customers. We are so proud to be able to support eight staff and their families while building a successful restaurant business.

Unfortunately our American dream was shattered when an arson set a dumpster on the back of our restaurant on fire last Monday while I was away taking my first vacation in many years. I am heart broken to see our restaurant is severely damaged by fire and forced us to shut it down. It will take months to repair before we can reopen again.

I most worry about my loyal staff who have worked for us for many years, I am afraid the lost wages mean that they can't pay for their living expenses such as rent and food. I am so grateful so many loyal customers have support our business. Now I am asking our caring community to help us during the darkest time of my business. Your donation willl help us to pay for our staff's wages while I can focus on repairing the restaurant. For donation of $150 and more, I will offer you two free Thai dishes of your choice once we reopen.

I can't thank you enough for your support and help us to regain our American dream back.
